Chosen to Stand Strong
Sep 16, 2026 • Marlon Nelson
This sermon explores what it means to be God's chosen people through the lens of 1 Peter 2, unpacking identity as living stones, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation set apart in Christ. The message weaves in Ephesians 1 and 2 Peter 3 to show that God planned for each believer before the foundation of the world and that His patience aims at redemption for all. It closes with a call to live distinctly among unbelievers, trust God's promises through hardship, and remain obedient to the Holy Spirit's leading in reaching others for Christ.
