In this episode of Proclaiming His Word, we're continuing our walk through 1 Peter 1:13-16, focusing on what it truly means to pursue holiness as those who belong to Christ. We consider three essential things believers must remember: where we are headed—the grace that will be fully revealed at the return of Jesus Christ; who we belong to—as adopted sons and daughters of the holy God; and what He has commanded—living holy in all our conduct, putting to death the deeds of the flesh and walking in step with the Spirit. This isn't about earning God's favor but responding to the reality of who we already are in Him. Join me as we open God’s Word together, consider what it means to live with eternity in view, and look to Jesus, our true hope.

We’re continuing in 1 Peter 1:13-16 this morning, digging deeper into the same passage we examined last week. Last time we were reminded of God’s clear call to holiness—rooted in His own holy character and in the transformation He works in every true believer. Today we focus on how that holiness actually takes shape in our daily lives. Peter shows us that the battle for a holy life is won or lost in the mind. He urges us to prepare our minds for action, to gird them up like a runner ready for the race, and to stay sober-minded—not intoxicated by the world’s cares, comforts, or philosophies. The path is straightforward: read the whole Word of God, dwell on it day and night, and live it out as the final authority. Join me as we explore this critical battle of the mind. Let’s dig in and look to Jesus, our true hope and the One who equips us for holiness!

In this episode of Proclaiming His Word, we’re diving into 1 Peter 1:13-16, where Peter issues a clear call to holiness for those who have received God’s great salvation. Building on the living hope and eternal inheritance we’ve already explored, Peter connects the grace we’ve been given to the sanctification it demands—a holy life before a holy God. We’ll examine why true grace transforms us and why claiming Christ while living unchanged is impossible. Join me as we unpack this challenging yet vital truth from Scripture. Let’s dig in and look to Jesus, our true hope!

In this episode, we’re turning our attention to 1 Peter 1:10-12 to consider the incredible salvation God has provided through Christ. Even as we approach Christmas, we’re reminded that the heart of this season isn’t just a baby in a manger, but the Savior who came to redeem us from sin and judgment. We’ll look at how the prophets inquired into this grace, how God pursued us with it, and why even angels long to look into these things. Join me as we reflect deeply on what it means to truly possess this salvation and fix our eyes on Jesus, our only hope.

In this week’s message, we’re launching our journey through the book of 1 Peter. Today we’re looking at just the first two verses—an introduction packed with rich truth. Peter opens by reminding believers who they are: elect exiles, chosen by God and scattered with purpose. We explore the background of this letter, the heart behind Peter’s writing, and the foundational doctrines he lays down from the very start—including the triune work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our salvation.

Join me as we consider what it means to live as God’s chosen people in a world that is not our home. Let’s dig in together and look to Jesus, our true hope!

In Jonah 4 we come to the abrupt ending of this short book, and with it, a sobering question: when God confronts our hearts, will we respond like Jonah or with humble obedience? Today we walk through the Lord’s final correction of this wayward prophet and see the wisdom of God on full display. He reminds us that possessions are perishable, people are precious, and perspective is priority.

As we trace God’s heart in this passage, we’re invited to examine our own—asking what truly shapes the way we live. Join me as we look again at the grace of our great God and learn to live in view of eternity. Let’s dig in and look to Jesus, our true hope.
