Introduction
We are here due to the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Sovereignty of God.

30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

1. You were created by God and for God

7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
