The sermon centers on the vital, personal relationship with Christ, emphasizing that true Christianity is not merely religious duty but a living, transformative fellowship with God. Drawing from 1 Peter 2, it unfolds two key truths: first, believers are spiritually reborn as newborn babes, made anew through the resurrection of Christ and the incorruptible word of God, requiring a radical rejection of malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander to make room for spiritual nourishment. Second, Christians are living stones built upon Christ, the chosen and precious cornerstone, forming a spiritual house where each believer is essential to the body of Christ, called to prioritize Christ's preeminence in every area of life. The message culminates in a heartfelt challenge: to each listener, is Jesus truly precious—so deeply valued that His presence shapes one's joy, testimony, and daily walk?
