Episode Synopsis

This sermon presents a profound exploration of unbelief as a rejection of Christ, not merely as ignorance but as a willful opposition to God's sovereign assessment of His Son. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:4–8, it portrays unbelievers as rejectors, stumblers, and disobedient—those who oppose the cornerstone God has exalted, stumble over the offense of the cross due to pride, and rebel against divine authority. The passage emphasizes that unbelief is not a neutral stance but a spiritual condition rooted in the heart's failure to love what God esteems, the mind's arrogance in rejecting divine wisdom, and the will's defiance of God's will. The sermon underscores that the Christian life is not defined by guilt-driven evangelism but by the transformative power of seeing Christ as God sees Him, inviting all to abandon self-reliance and embrace faith through the Holy Spirit's conviction. Ultimately, it calls both believers and unbelievers to turn from futile paths of self-justification toward the living stone, where true life, honor, and eternal glory are found.
