Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: 1 Peter 2:5 Title: Living Stones Pt II Pleasing Sacrifices

Peter teaches that believers, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house and called to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Pastor Marty unpacks how these sacrifices are not about ritual offerings but lives surrendered in worship—marked by obedience, love, service, and gospel witness. The church, as God’s dwelling place on earth, displays His glory when His people live as a holy priesthood devoted to pleasing Him.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: 1 Peter 1:13 Title: Mind of an Exile

Peter calls believers to prepare their minds for action and set their hope fully on the grace to be revealed at Christ’s coming. Pastor Marty unpacks how the Christian mindset shapes life in exile—marked by readiness, discipline, and an unshakable focus on future glory. Living as strangers in this world requires a renewed mind that resists distraction and anchors hope in Christ alone. The “mind of an exile” is one that sees beyond temporary struggles to the eternal promises of God.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: 1 Peter 3:1–2 Title: Our Witness A Wife’s Submission

Peter exhorts wives to submit to their husbands so that even those who do not obey the Word may be won over by their respectful and pure conduct. Pastor Marty explains how this submission is a gospel-centered calling, rooted in trust in God’s sovereignty and designed as a witness to unbelieving spouses. Far from being weakness, this is a powerful display of strength, humility, and hope in Christ that reflects the transforming work of the gospel in the life of an exile.
