In a culture where many Christians seek comfort without commitment and blessings without responsibility, Dr. Michael Youssef sounds a clarion call to Biblical faithfulness. In I Belong, a five-part series grounded in the inerrant Word of God, Dr. Youssef exposes the dangers of spiritual apathy and casual church attendance. He proclaims the urgency of repentance, the authority of Christ, and the believer’s call to serve, intercede, and build the Kingdom of God. This bold and uncompromising series challenges every follower of Christ to reject consumer Christianity and ask, “Lord, what would You have me do to belong?”—not for self-gain, but to glorify Christ through active, faithful membership in His Church.

In this second message of I Belong, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that the Church of Jesus Christ is not built on preference or personality, but on Christ alone—the Living Stone revealed in the inerrant Word of God. Drawing from 1 Peter 2, he confronts the lie of isolated Christianity and calls believers to repentance from independence and disobedience. Every true believer is a living stone, joined to others, forming a holy and royal priesthood. Fellowship is not optional; it is God’s design for witness, holiness, and power. As priests of the King, believers are called to intercede, serve, and display Christ’s glory together for the advance of His Kingdom.
