1 Peter: Blessed Assurance (His Timeless Church)

What happens when a week of service collides with a call to become a timeless church? We start with blue shirts and open hands, then move into 1 Peter 2:1–10 to ask harder, better questions about foundation, identity, and growth. Along the way we share the real numbers—103 volunteers, 242 people impacted, meals served, gifts given—and the deeper motive: service that points beyond today into eternity.

We unpack why Peter’s letter, written under Nero and aimed at a people not a building, still cuts through the noise with a didactic clarity that forms a community from the inside out. You’ll hear why Christ must be the cornerstone, how the resurrection makes that more than metaphor, and what it looks like to mature from milk to meat without losing the hunger for the Word. We dig into a simple, repeatable way to read Scripture—AOIMA and SOAP—so obedience becomes more than a slogan and stumbling becomes less frequent and less final.

Then we step into identity. “A chosen people, a royal priesthood” isn’t churchy language for leaders; it’s the job description for all of us. That identity reframes fear of failure, redefines success as the next faithful step, and turns worship into warfare. Psalm 3 gives us the posture: honest about the fight, confident in the shield. Whether you’re serving in a nursing home, feeding students, or navigating workplace tensions, this conversation will steady your hands and warm your heart.

If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs courage, subscribe for more Bible-centered episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. What’s your next faithful step this week?
