In this midweek service, Pastor Colton walks through 1 Peter 2:1, focusing on the command to “rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit.” It’s a powerful reminder that before we can truly grow in our faith, we must first deal with what’s poisoning our hearts.

Malice and deceit might sound like harsh words, but they show up in subtle ways—through bitterness we hold onto, words meant to hurt, or pretending to be something we’re not. In this message, Pastor Colton unpacks what these attitudes really mean, how they can quietly creep into our lives, and why God calls us to lay them down completely.

You’ll be encouraged to examine your own heart, release the grudges and dishonesty that weigh you down, and pursue a sincere walk with Christ. This message is a call to spiritual honesty and a fresh start in your relationship with God and others.

Perfect for anyone who needs a midweek reset and a reminder that real growth begins with a clean heart.
