The Shephered and Overseer of Our Souls - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 2:21-25

2009-06-28 by

Christian tradition’s prevalent use of Isaiah 53 begins here with the Apostle Peter’s extensive, creative, unique and lingering meditation upon this Siffering Servant Song of the Divine Redeemer. May we meditate along with out beloved Apostle: continually entrusting ourselves to God while suffering secures progress in our Christian life. Our Lord Jesus Christ is both our model and our mediator.

Remain Mindful of God While Suffering - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 2:18-21

2009-06-14 by

Last Sunday we learned how those Four New Names in 2:9 and that one metaphor of “resident foreigners” in 2:11 makes all the difference in the world for us. As Christians, we live life among the peoples of the world, but live life distinctly as the new People of God. This isn’t always easy, so here is a great encouragement: Being mindful of God while enduring sorrows from unjust suffering leads to many wonderful encounters with God’s grace. Suffering unjustly as a Christian has a subversive Gospel element to it that is powerful for good.

Residing as Foreigners - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 2:11-17

2009-06-07 by

Today we begin part two of 1 Peter (2:11-4:11), which takes us to the heart of the letter and its specific applications. The Apostle Peter is teaching Christians how to live within their various pagan societies; and he uses the metaphor of residing as foreigners. This is a very helpful and powerful image by which we can direct our lives in this world.

Four New Names - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 2:9-10

2009-05-31 by

These two verses highlight our privileged identity like no other Biblical passage. The four new names say it all. We will celebrate Pentecost today by continuing in our First Peter series of rediscovering our identity and purpose in Christ. Our new identity in Christ obligates us to proclaim the excellencies of our God who has created a new hope in Christ Jesus.

The Building Project of God - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 2:4-8

2009-05-24 by

In part one of 1 Peter we have been given four exhortations: Set your hope fully on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; be holy before you new Father, conducting yourselves with fear; love one another earnestly from a pure heart; and crave the pure spiritual milk of the grace of God in Christ. Now we learn more of the how and why of these instruction. The more we go to Christ, the more we grow spiritually, the more we take in the honor, and the more we live to worship God. In our passage, we can identify two ongoing building projects: The honor project and the shame project.
