A truth beautifully echoed in one of my most favorite Christmas carols, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” In the fourth verse, the song proclaims… Continue reading December 16th – 1 Peter 2:9

1 Peter 5:8-9 You and I have a real enemy in Satan. The one who seeks to divide, discourage, and destroy what God is building in us.

1 Peter 2:16 Peter warns us against misusing the freedom given to us by God to justify sinful behavior. For true freedom in Christ comes with the responsibility to live righteously.

June 27th – 1 Peter 3:9
1 Peter 3:9 When someone hurts us, our natural instinct is to retaliate. To inflict pain in return for the pain we've received. This urge for retribution feels justifiable and satisfying in the moment, but it can lead to a spirit of hostility and bitterness.

1 Peter 2:20 When bad things happen as a result of something we did, we understand the consequences that follow. But sometimes bad things happen when we’ve done everything right. And in those times instead of asking why, we need to accept that although not every challenge is earned, every challenge is an opportunity for… Continue reading November 30th – 1 Peter 2:20

2 Peter 1:10 “Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election.
