In this message, Cam Stephens explores 1 Peter 2:4–10, unpacking the Apostle Peter’s foundational teaching to the early church about what it truly means to live as followers of Jesus.Peter reveals the powerful image of believers as “living stones,” being built together into God’s new temple. This passage highlights that God’s presence is no longer centred in a physical building but is now revealed through the community of those who belong to Christ. As a chosen people and royal priesthood, Christians are called to reflect God’s glory and proclaim His goodness to the world.This teaching provides essential clarity on Christian identity, purpose, and the communal nature of faith in Christ.Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4–10Speaker: Cam StephensChurch: Grant ChurchTopics Covered:• Living stones and the new temple• Christian identity in Christ• Royal priesthood and holy nation• God’s presence among His people• Foundations for Christian livingSubscribe for weekly biblical teaching and sermons from Grant Church, and share this message to encourage others in their walk with Jesus.#1Peter #LivingStones #ChristianIdentity #RoyalPriesthood #BibleTeaching #GrantChurch #NewTestamentWatch the complete service: https://youtube.com/live/lYFq1fNZKKQWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

In this message, Cam Stephens explores 1 Peter 1:22–2:3, where the Apostle Peter calls the church to sincere brotherly love and a deep hunger for spiritual growth.Peter challenges believers to love one another earnestly from a pure heart while putting away attitudes that damage Christian community—malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. At the same time, he urges followers of Jesus to crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word, recognizing that true maturity comes through learning, meditating on, and obeying Scripture.This teaching reminds us that healthy faith is both relational and transformational: we grow as we love well and as we continually return to the Word of God.Scripture: 1 Peter 1:22–2:3Speaker: Cam StephensChurch: Grant ChurchTopics Covered:• Brotherly love in the church• Spiritual growth and maturity• The power of God’s Word• Putting away sinful attitudes• Christian communitySubscribe for weekly biblical teaching and sermons from Grant Church.Share this message to encourage someone in their walk with Jesus.#1Peter #BrotherlyLove #SpiritualGrowth #WordOfGod #ChristianCommunity #GrantChurch #BibleTeachingWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

These commands shape how we think, live, and relate to God in light of the salvation we have received through Christ.This teaching challenges us to anchor our identity not in our present circumstances, but in the eternal redemption secured by Jesus—calling us to live distinct, faithful lives as we wait for the fullness of God’s promises.Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13–21Speaker: Cam StephensChurch: Grant ChurchTopics Covered:• Living as exiles• Christian hope and holiness• Fear of the Lord• Obedience and identity in Christ• Salvation and redemptionSubscribe for weekly biblical teaching and sermons from Grant Church.Share this message with someone navigating faith in challenging times.#1Peter #LivingInExile #ChristianHoliness #HopeInChrist #BibleTeaching #GrantChurch #ChristianLife #FaithAndObedienceWatch the complete service: https://youtube.com/live/lYFq1fNZKKQWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca
