Sermon outline

What do you want to be when you grow up?

1.     Christian vocation Starts with Jesus (v4)

• • How can Jesus be chosen?

• • He is a PRECIOUS living stone (v6 – quoting from Isaiah 28)

• • Jesus value is not based on his popularity

• • Jesus divides people

• • We are a church that treasures Jesus (2v24; 3v18)

2. Our Vocation – in more detail

• • Believers are living stones (v5)

• • Believers are priests (v5; Exodus 19v5-6)
    • Priests in the Old Testament?
    • Priests now? (v9-10)
    • What are spiritual sacrifices?

With Great Privilege Comes Great Responsibility

•  Each day let’s make sure we ‘turn up.’
