One Foundation, One Family, One Mission - 1 Peter 2:4-10 | Lilac City Church

"Who are you? Not your job title, relationship status, or political affiliation—who are you really?
Most of us build our identity on unstable foundations: careers, relationships, achievements. But what happens when those things change? When you lose your job, your relationship ends, or your circumstances shift? Suddenly the foundation cracks, and you're left asking, 'Who am I now?'
In this message from 1 Peter 2:4-10, Pastor Brolin addresses our culture's identity crisis with the Apostle Peter's answer: your identity is found in being built on the living Stone—Jesus Christ.
As Lilac City Church celebrates one year since launching, this sermon unpacks the three core values that define who we are:
Rooted in Jesus (vv. 4-8) — Jesus is the living, chosen, precious cornerstone. Every other foundation will crumble. Only Jesus conquered death and holds firm.
Cultivated in Community (v. 5) — We're not solo Christians. We're living stones being built together into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood offering our lives to God.
Reaching the World (vv. 9-10) — We exist to declare the praises of God who called us out of darkness into His wonderful light. We've received mercy—now we share it with a world that desperately needs it.
One foundation. One family. One mission. This is Lilac City Church."
