The Father makes a child of God Holy by the blood of Jesus Christ.  This is our positional holiness.  Then He calls us to live holy lives, our practical holiness. In this sermon from his series in 1 Peter, Pastor Greg Smith shows how this works out in the life of a believer and how one is under attack and how he must fight for holiness.

You have to know who you are to know what you should do.  For believers, God tells us who we are in the Word so that we can do, or live as we should.  In this message from his series in First Peter, Pastor Greg Smith shows us what God has to say about every believer.

Why would Jesus be known as the 'Rock of Ages?'  Peter, the little rock, or Rocky, says that Jesus is the "Living Stone."  Pastor Greg Smith takes this passage in First Peter to show why Jesus is the necessary Rock upon which all of life is built.  The tenth sermon in his series from First Peter entitled "Living in Exile."

Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my Church!"  How is He going about building the Church and for what purpose?  Pastor Greg Smith preaching from the second chapter of First Peter in this 9th sermon in the series entitled "Living in Exile!"

Newborns have a singular, insatiable desire for their mother's milk.  Peter exhorts believers to have the same kind of desire for the "pure milk of the Word."  The "pure milk" is Jesus, living Word of God.  Pastor Greg Smith preaching from the second chapter of First Peter in his series entitle "Living in Exile."

A child of God shows love for God by obeying His commands.  Loving God and loving others are the two basic commands.  In this sermon from his series in First Peter, "Living in Exile", Pastor Greg Smith examines the meaning and means by which believers love one another.

We know that God loves us because He gave His only Son to die on a cross for our sins.  But how does God know that we love Him?  When we keep His commands, we show that we love God.  The third of three commands in 1 Peter 1 is the subject of this sermon by Pastor Greg Smith, the seventh sermon in his series from First Peter, Living as Exiles.

Student Pastor Kaleb Moore preaching on the second imperative in I Peter 1, the command to "Be Holy."

The Bible contains imperatives, commands for God's people to live.  We are not saved by keeping the commands, but we live in response to God's love and grace by keeping His commands.  I Peter 1 contains three imperatives to live by.  Pastor Greg Smith preaches through the first of these three commands in this sermon from his series in First Peter, Living in Exile.

What is salvation and why is it the most incredible thing that can ever happen to you?  Pastor Greg Smith shares this meditation on these three verses from First Peter 1 as the congregation of First Baptist Church prepares itself for Communion.  The Lord's Supper is a celebration and commemoration of what God has done for us in Christ.
