The Grammar of Grace: Understanding the Indicative and the Imperative
I Peter 1:13-25

In his reflection on the passage, John Calvin observed that Peter first establishes the honor of adoption through the Gospel, and second, that believers are adopted for the purpose of being His obedient children. First, a new reality that God does in us by our faith receiving His grace. Then a new heart motivating a life lived in love directed by obedience to Him.

Exiles: Be Holy
1 Peter 1:13-25

This Sunday, we continue a sermon series through the New Testament letter of 1 Peter titled, "Exiles." Throughout the fall, we will consider these hope-filled words of the apostle Peter as he encourages the early church toward faithfulness in the face of resistance.  This week we consider Peter's call to the church to be holy - that is to be different, distinct, set apart from the world in which they exist.  In this call, he reminds them of the source of their hope and driving motivation while centering this call around love.  This is a call that resonates with the church of Christ through time.  It leads us to imagine what it means in our time to living different and distinct lives that direct people to Jesus.
