This Week: The Stone the Builders Rejected

This Sunday’s sermon will be on 1 Peter 2:7-8:

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,” and, “A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.”

Here are some questions to consider this week to prepare for the sermon:

  • Read Psalm 118.  Who is the Stone that the builders rejected?  How does the Psalmist respond to this idea?
  • Read Isaiah 8.  Who is the Stone in this chapter?  What is the context of this chapter?
  • Read Matthew 21.  What is the context?  How does Jesus apply the stone prophecy?
