God’s people are loved by the greatest and most unconditional love, His own. The love of God, demonstrated by Jesus’ perfect sacrifice for sin, has caused believers to be born again. We have already seen that we have been born anew to a living hope. Now in 1 Pt 1:22-25, we are born again into a deep, mutual, and genuine love, starting with our relationships in the Church, then radiating out to a world in desperate need for love.

1 Peter 1:22-25

The standard of living for a Christian is holiness, a life set apart from sinful ways, devoted and obedient to God. Holiness is the primary theme of 1 Peter 1:13-2:10. A holy life begins with a mindset, a made-up mind that is determined to reject ungodly ways and pursue God’s best in all circumstances.

1 Peter 1:13-21

Our hope of salvation through Christ is marvelous; even the angels are swept up in wonder! In the past, God spoke through the prophets to indicate what the Messiah would do and what He would be like. Isaiah prophesied about a Suffering Servant who would also rule as Judge over all things. We now see fully what the prophets only saw in part. Yet, are we as mindful of our salvation and new life in Christ as they were?!  

1 Peter 1:10-12

Exiles! Aliens! Foreigners! These titles reflect the reality that Christians are, firstly, citizens of God’s kingdom. While Christians faced suffering for their faith, Peter reminded the churches that it was their very faith in Christ that would produce hope and joy in the midst of mistreatment and persecution in their daily lives.

1 Peter 1:1-9

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, Psalm 1 invites us to pause and consider the path we are walking. Scripture presents two ways before us—the way of the righteous, rooted in God’s truth and flourishing like a tree planted by streams of water, and the way of the wicked, unstable and ultimately empty. This psalm calls us to examine our desires, choices, and direction as we look ahead, urging us to choose the way that leads to life, endurance, and lasting fruit in the year to come.

Psalm 1:1-6

December 21, 2025

As Christmas arrives in a few sleeps, we are reminded of the deep, abiding, and perfect love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus. God’s love came at an incredible price, but it was one that Jesus gladly paid. This love of God that abides in us is the very love that should overflow into our love for one another. We were born in Christ for this!

1 John 4:7-12

“Joy to the World” is what is proclaimed at the birth of Christ. Christ ushers in a joy that is not made or fueled by human invention. His joy transcends all people, circumstances, and materials. Jesus says in John 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” The key here is knowing what Jesus spoke to them: abide… To engulf ourselves in Christ and through the Spirit see how marvelous Jesus Christ is through the Scriptures and in the created world. The joy that we are given in Christ is one that has the condition of abiding in Him. For the joy of Christ to transcend people, circumstances, and materials, all of which are good gifts that can make us joyful, yet they are intended to point us back to the one who IS joy for us. 

John 15:1-11

Oftentimes, the word peace is associated with war or conflict, and rightfully so. We often don’t think of ourselves or others as being at war with God or with one another, yet for the person who is not in Christ, they are indeed at war against God and others. But Christ, such a beautiful conjunction, has come and fought the war for us, and in his victory, he births in us his peace. Peace first with God and with those who are found in Christ. Our response, both individually and as the whole body of Christ, is to cherish Christ’s peace so that we may glorify God and not ourselves. Born in us is a peace that isn’t temporary for just the Christmas season, but one that brings deep and eternal satisfaction in Christ. It is a peace that tears down the walls of hostility between people from every tribe and tongue and builds a kingdom full of people who have one means of being at peace with one another, King Jesus. 

Ephesians 2:11-22

November 30, 2025

The advent of Jesus has brought eternal hope to the world. Hope has been born in all those who trust in Christ as their Savior and Lord through the Holy Spirit. Hope is born in us today, Church! From Romans 15:1-13, we will see that our hope in Christ is directly linked to how we treat one another as His people and representatives in the world. 

Romans 15:1-13

November 23, 2025

The final verses of the Bible hold Christ’s incredible promise for His people. He is coming soon! Every generation of believers must live in light of our Savior’s imminent return. We must also pay close attention to living faithful lives and sharing His message of hope and salvation. Take heart, Church, our King is coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
