Not only do we begin a new series, but I am trying a new format for this series specifically, taking the recordings from my live interactive teaching through 1 Peter in San Diego. In part 1, we talk about some of the "why" of Peter's letter and the central theme of being reborn into a living hope.

In this episode, we begin a new series on the parables of Jesus. We start by looking at the parable of the wheat and the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43).
