Higher Ground

God has already given you everything you need for life and godliness.

In this episode of Higher Ground, we walk through 2 Peter 1 — how to add to your faith, make your calling and election sure, and stay rooted in the reliable word of God.

Growth is not automatic. It is the result of God’s provision met with our diligence.

Welcome back to Higher Ground. After a short hiatus, we’re continuing our walk through Scripture with the final chapter of 1 Peter. In this episode we open with a personal word of thanks and then move into 1 Peter 5, where Peter speaks to elders about faithful shepherding, calls every believer to humility, urges us to cast our anxieties on the Lord who cares for us, and warns us to be sober and watchful against the adversary. We close by looking at the God of all grace who perfects, establishes, and strengthens His people, and by standing firm in the true grace of God. This episode also includes a brief summary of the main takeaway of the entire book of 1 Peter.

📖 John Chapter 3

What does Jesus really mean when He tells Nicodemus, “Ye must be born anew”?

In Episode 37, we go deeper into one of the most important chapters in the Gospel of John. We examine the new birth, the work of the Holy Spirit, God’s love for the world, and why eternal life is found in Jesus Christ.

We also follow the Scriptures back into the Old Testament—especially Numbers 21, where Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness—and see why Jesus Himself used that event to point forward to His being lifted up.

And we examine one of the most important attitudes every follower of Christ should carry:

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30 (ASV)

Following Christ is more than carrying the name Christian. It means surrendering ourselves to Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform the way we live.

Jesus’ first public sign at the wedding in Cana revealed His glory and pointed to His power to transform lives. Later, in Jerusalem, He cleansed the Temple, reminding us that true worship is about honoring God with sincere hearts. Join us as we explore John chapter 2 and discover how Christ still transforms lives and calls His followers to holy living.

In this episode of Higher Ground, we begin a new journey through the Gospel of John. After walking through James and 1 Peter, we now turn our eyes directly to Jesus Christ: the eternal Word, the true Light, the Lamb of God, and the Son of God.

John chapter 1 reminds us that Jesus was not merely a teacher or prophet, but the Word who was with God and was God. Through this reading and study, we see the call to believe, follow, and come closer to Christ as we continue our path toward higher ground.

In this final chapter of 1 Peter, we are reminded to lead with humility, cast every anxiety upon God, remain alert against the enemy, and stand firm in the true grace of God. As biblical truth is increasingly challenged, Peter’s message calls believers to remain faithful without fear, pride, hatred, or compromise. Our suffering is temporary, God’s grace is sufficient, and the Chief Shepherd will return.

In Episode 33 of Higher Ground, we continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter Chapter 4, where Peter calls believers to adopt the mindset of Christ, live according to God’s will, faithfully use the gifts He has given, and stand firm through suffering for the sake of the Gospel. Discover how trials refine our faith, how love strengthens the body of Christ, and why living for God’s glory is worth every sacrifice.

In Episode 32 of Higher Ground, we continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter by exploring Chapter 3. Peter teaches believers how to honor God in marriage, pursue unity within the body of Christ, respond to suffering with gentleness, and always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is within us. Most importantly, this chapter points us back to Jesus Christ, who suffered once for our sins to bring us to God. Join us as we read the Scriptures together from the American Standard Version (ASV), examine their historical context, and discover how these timeless truths can transform our daily walk with Christ.
