WEEK 5: The Rejected Stone & Our Cornerstone
DATE: March 30th
PASSAGE: Psalm 118:22-26, Matthew 21:42, Acts 4:11-12, Ephesians 2:19-22
FORETOLD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT:
- Psalm 118:22-26 - The Rejected Stone
FULFILLED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:
- Matthew 21:42 – Jesus declares Himself the rejected stone.
- Acts 4:11-12 – Peter preaches salvation through Christ alone.
- Ephesians 2:19-22 – Christ is the cornerstone of the church.
APPLICATION FOR OUR LIVES TODAY:
- Build your life on Christ – Every other foundation will crumble. Don’t trust the foundations provided by the world.
- Don’t be surprised by rejection – If the world rejected Jesus, it will reject His followers. Storms will come, but we remain strong in Jesus.
- Point others to the true foundation – Jesus is the only way to salvation. Nothing else will last in this lifetime, only our relationship with Christ.
