Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "stones". We find it in a few verses in the New Testament, but we will be looking at just one of them today.  1 Peter 2:5:

5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. AMP

This is the Greek word "lithos". Vine's Expository Dictionary says: stones of the ground, tombstones, building stones, millstones. The verse above is speaking of born again believers being as stones brought together to build a spiritual 'house' where God is glorified, His Word is obeyed and shared and His praises are lifted up! I LIKE being part of THAT house! This new song by Josiah Queen with Brandon Lake speaks of GOD being the KING of 'rolling stones'! I think that's us! Here is that song!

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
