Construction Project | Built Together as Living Stones (1 Peter 2:4–8)

What if your faith was never meant to be consumed—but constructed? In Part 5 of Enduring Exiles: A Study of 1 Peter, Pastor Robert challenges a common misconception about spirituality. Following Jesus is not a consumer experience designed for comfort and convenience—it is a construction project. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:4–8, this message invites us to see ourselves not as spectators, but as living stones, actively being built together into something God is forming. Peter reminds us that while Jesus was rejected by people, He was chosen and precious to God—and the same is true for us. Our worth is not determined by acceptance, applause, or approval, but by the Master Builder who places us with purpose. God is not finished yet. The noise, mess, and discomfort are signs that real work is happening. This message reframes rejection, belonging, and spiritual growth through the lens of construction—revealing that what feels unfinished or uncomfortable may actually be evidence that God is building something lasting. 📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Peter 2:4–8 📍 Location: Platform Church | San Diego, CA 🎯 Series: Enduring Exiles (Part 5) Key Themes Why faith is not a consumer product but a construction project Jesus as the rejected stone chosen by God Living stones: belonging through participation Why rejection is a poor measurement of value God’s building process and our role in it Growth, discomfort, and purpose in spiritual formation Being built together, not in isolation Message Chapters 00:00 – Introduction: Faith Isn’t for Consumption 03:06 – Consumer Christianity vs Construction 06:12 – Coming to the Living Stone (1 Peter 2:4) 08:58 – Rejected by People, Chosen by God 11:41 – Precious in God’s Sight 15:02 – Living Stones Being Built Together 18:34 – The Mess and Noise of Construction 22:07 – Growth Requires Disruption 26:20 – God Includes You in the Build 28:20 – This Is a Construction Project 31:47 – Belonging Through Building 35:04 – Don’t Walk Away Mid-Build 38:12 – What God Is Making Will Last 41:10 – An Invitation to Be Built Together If your faith feels unfinished, uncomfortable, or messy right now, you’re not failing—you’re under construction.
