Ep. 232 - Christ Must Be the Cornerstone of Every House of God - Ephesians 2:19–22 - Church Expansion Dedication Service - March 22, 2026

Sermon Focus: Christ Must be the Cornerstone of Every House of GodWhat does it really mean for Christ to be the cornerstone? In a world—and even in churches—where Jesus can become just one voice among many, this message calls us back to something deeper. From Ephesians 2, we’re reminded that Christ is not an add-on, not a helpful influence, but the very foundation everything else stands on. When He is truly the cornerstone, He doesn’t just support the structure—He defines it. This sermon challenges us to examine what we’re really building on… and invites us to center everything on the One who holds it all together.Sermon Text: Ephesians 2:19–22Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.This sermon and the subsequent speech by Richard Pfeifer were delivered for the rededication service of St. Peter's Lutheran Church after the renovation and expansion of our facility on top of the hill. Thank you to Richard Pfeifer for delivering a special poem for the occasion!
