Because He Lives...We Are God's People

In 1 Peter 2:2–10, Chad Foreman explores how the resurrection of Jesus does more than save individuals: it creates a new people with a new identity and purpose. Because Jesus lives, believers are born again into a living hope, shaped together as “living stones” in God’s spiritual house, and commissioned as royal priests who represent God to the world.

This message unpacks five truths about the resurrection: it creates a hunger for God, forms us into His people, calls us into mission, confronts us with the choice to trust or reject Christ, and sends us out to show the goodness of God to a world in darkness.

Because He lives, we are not alone, without identity, or without purpose. We are God’s people, called to reflect His presence and proclaim His goodness.
