Building the Wall


As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,  you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 

1 Peter 2:4-5

 

We indeed are as Living Stones being built into a wall as the Body of Christ. But how does that happen?

 

It all begins with the Cornerstone as we are built upon the Foundations using the Line and the Plumb Line bonded together with the mortar. Let’s explore this together.

Our Identity In Christ


For by Grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.  

Romans 12:3

 

This is a study concerning who we are in the Body of Christ, our identity.

An accurate understanding of our identity enables us to more effectively interact with God, with one another, and with the environment or atmosphere around us.

The identity is what God has to say about us.

Speaking in Parables


He who has ears, let him hear.

Jesus is referring to spiritual hearing as one seeks truth of God and the Kingdom.

Jesus uses parables to communicate lessons concerning the Kingdom of Heaven to His disciples; those who have discernment.

Understanding breeds more understanding through intimacy with God as one is taught by Holy Spirit.
