Most Christians attend church but never become the church — and there's a massive difference.

Drawing from 1 Peter 2:4-5, this message challenges you to stop attending and start becoming — a living stone built into God's spiritual house alongside people you didn't choose, with backgrounds you don't share, and opinions that don't always align with yours.

Proverbs 21:2 says that every way of a person seems right in their own eyes, yet God weighs the heart. This is where church gets hard. But no preference, opinion, or theological debate is worth becoming a stumbling block to someone's eternity.

If you can't love the people you can see, you're deceiving yourself about loving the God you can't see.
