In todays episode we look at 1 Peter 1:3d and the glorious truth that God has caused us to be born again into a living hope. 2020 has been, for many of us, a year of hopelessness; however, as Christians we need not lose hope. Peter reminds the elect exiles that the Christian hope is not based on their circumstances but on the resurrection of their Savior. The same is true for us.

In today's episode we look at WCF 1.1. How can we know God? Why is the Bible necessary? Why has God bothered to make himself known? These and other questions are addressed in today's episode of the Daily Devotion as we look at the first paragraph of the Westminster Confession of Faith. As we go through this study it may be helpful for you to have your own copy of the Westminster Standards. You can purchase a copy here.  As we work through the Confession I will lean heavily on Chad Van Dixhoorn's very helpful book, Confessing the Faith: A Reader's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith. If interested, you can purchase a copy here.

In today's episode we look at 1 Peter 1:3c. The idea of being born again is thrown around in Christian circles a lot, but what exactly does it mean to be born again? In this episode of The Daily Devotion, we answer this question, recognizing that as identity comes with our natural birth, so a new identity comes with our spiritual birth.

In today's episode we look at 1 Peter 1:3b. What is the basis for the Christian's identity, hope, and security? Peter reminds us that the basis for these realities is the great mercy of God.

In this episode we are looking at the thorny soil in the Parable of the Sower, Mark 4:1-20. This is the fourth sermon in an ongoing series at Christ Church Conway.

In today's episode we look at 1 Peter 1:3a. Peter opens his letter reminding his readers that God is blessed even in the face of suffering.

In today's devotion, we look at Peter's introduction to his letter, 1 Peter 1:1-2. We learn that God is in control of suffering and that suffering is for our sanctification and obedience to Christ our Savior. In these truths we find comfort and strength in the midst of suffering.
