Romans 9:30-33 ~ A Rock of Offense ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh

1 Peter 2:6-8

 For this is contained in Scripture:

      "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE,

            A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,

       AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL

            NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

This precious value, then, is for you who believe;

but for those who disbelieve,

     "THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,

       THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

 and,

      "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE";

 for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word,

 and to this doom they were also appointed.
