A living stone... (A Treadweary Sermoncast)

In this powerful sermoncast, the host reflects on the theme of identity and faith in the face of doubt, drawing from 1 Peter to explore what it means to be 'a living stone' in God's spiritual house. He contrasts the fragility of human memory and the rise of Holocaust denial with the enduring truth of God's promises, emphasizing that faith is not based on empirical evidence but on trust in a living, resurrected Christ. The sermon challenges listeners to stop seeking immediate results and instead embrace their identity as exiles and strangers in a foreign land, nourished by the gospel and built into a holy priesthood through Christ alone. The host uses personal stories—of his daughter, his grandfather’s watch, and the emotional weight of waiting—to illustrate the tension between present suffering and future hope, urging the congregation to rest in the unshakable foundation of Christ's finished work.
