This document contains notes from a sermon or teaching on 1 Peter 2:04-2:08. It discusses Jesus as the living stone, chosen by God, who was rejected by men. Believers come to Jesus and are built into a spiritual house as living stones. For non-believers, Jesus is a stone of stumbling and rock of offense that they are destined to disobey and stumble over. The teaching examines coming to Jesus, being transformed from stones into a holy priesthood, and the rejection and consequences of not believing.

11. As you come to him, the living Stone- rejected by men but
chosen by God and precious to him- you also, like living
Stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy
priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay in
Zion a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who
trusts in him will never be put to shame.” Now to you who
believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not
believe, “The stone the builders rejected as become the
capstone,” and, “A stone that causes men to stumble and a
rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they
disobey the message- which is also what they are destined
for.
