God’s People Serving God’s Purposes - 1 Peter 2:4-10 - March 19, 2023

This passage contains one of the greatest identity and purpose statements for the church in all the Bible. The church is God’s chosen people, ransomed by Christ to belong to him. The church serves God as priests who offer up the sacrifices of worship, prayer, and consecrated lives to him. The church proclaims God’s excellencies in the world as witnesses to his greatness and grace. May this vision of the church be ours at Grace Community Church.

Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
