How 'Living-Stone' Did 'Man-Rock'

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of Jesus as the 'Living Stone' and Peter as the 'Man Rock,' emphasizing the spiritual journey of following Christ after being born again. It highlights Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, where He resisted using His spiritual power for self-serving purposes, contrasting this with His willingness to use His gifts to serve others, exemplified by the feeding of the 5,000. The message underscores the importance of motive in using spiritual gifts, teaching that they should not be used to feed the self but to serve others. It also touches on the nature of Jesus' kingship, which is spiritual rather than earthly, and the ongoing challenge of following Him faithfully.
