Text: 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV)
As followers of Jesus, we have been chosen by God and called out to serve Him. We have been built into a new community – the church – to declare the praises of God, who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. We are to be holy; to look, live, and love differently. We are God’s special possession and are to make Him known everywhere we go! We are the church!
