In the 19th century, archaeologists discovered the "Alexamenos Graffito," a piece of Roman wall art that mocked early Christians by depicting a crucified figure with a donkey’s head. To the elite of the time, worshipping a crucified man was a literal joke. Yet, despite the ridicule, the early church found its strength in the very "Living Stone" that the world rejected.

Using the imagery from 1 Peter, we will explore:

• The Power of the Cornerstone: Why the most "vile" death became the foundation that holds our lives together.

• Living Stones: How we are being built into a spiritual house rather than just a social club.

• A Counter-Cultural Faith: What it means to remain faithful when the surrounding culture mocks your values.

Come discover how embracing the cross allows us to build a community that the world cannot shake.
