7. An Imperishable Life of Love (1 Peter 1:22-25)

Mar 21, 2021  •  Jared Bridges  •  1 Peter

We Christians in America today aren't so different from those to whom Peter was writing in his letter. The particulars of the trials we face may differ, but the Jesus whom we serve and the word by which we know him remain the same. The gospel fuels in us a fierce love for one another that the Lord uses to grow us for greater trials ahead.

As you read 1 Peter 1:22-25 in preparation for our Lord's Day worship, pray with me that God will use this imperishable word to mold our hearts for a love for one another that cannot be extinguished.

For His Glory and your joy,
Pastor Jared
