In this sermon from our Who We Are series, we look at what it means to faithfully live as God’s people by both showing and telling the good news of Jesus. Too often, Christians and churches lean toward one or the other, living out the gospel through deeds or proclaiming it through words. But Scripture reminds us that these were never meant to be separated.

Drawing from 1 Peter 2:9–12, we reflect on our identity as a chosen people and a royal priesthood, called to proclaim the excellencies of the One who brought us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. This passage encourages us to embrace both our words and our actions as part of God’s mission in the world.

Listen and be encouraged to live out your priestly calling in everyday life, pointing others to Jesus through what you say and how you live.
