“The Church: The Building and the Edifice”


Two Readings.

Ephesians 2:20-21
(20)  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
(21)  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

1st Peter 2:1-5
(1)  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
(2)  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
(3)  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(4)  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
(5)  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
