<p>Culture tells us to follow our hearts, trust our gut and "do you" — but how's that working out? In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Dom O'Connell reminds us that Peter's letter was written to a people, not a person. God isn't building a collection of isolated individuals; He is building a spiritual household — an oikos, a dynasty — out of living stones, with Jesus as the cornerstone that every life is measured from.

We explore what it means to be a load-bearing part of something bigger, why you can't be a priest to yourself, and why the cornerstone matters more than the paint colour. Whether we're in a school hall or a building of our own, we are no less the church. The building may one day be finished — but we are not. Honest, practical and deeply hopeful, this message calls us to reject individualism and be actively built together as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation sent out among the nations to declare His praise.</p>
