Bible Text: 1 Peter 2:4-8 | Preacher: Nathan Herrlin | Series: 1 Peter: Hopeful Suffering

Rejection

“rejected by men, but chosen by God”

Not the way things used to be

“a spiritual house”
“a holy priesthood”

How do I qualify for such an honor?

“through Jesus Christ”

Navigating rejection  through this passage

3 reasons I may experience rejection

I am not aligned with Christ
Someone else is not aligned with Christ – God’s job is to change people, my job is to love people
It’s a neutral situatoin. I’m not actually being rejected.
