The Life You’ve Always Wanted

Sermon Notes

This Sunday, Kyle Kaigler will guide us through 1 Peter 1:13-25, where we face the profound truth that, as believers, we live in the tension between two realities. We know a future is coming that we have yet to fully experience, but the choices we make today have a lasting impact on both our present life and our eternal destiny. In this passage, Peter offers wisdom on how to navigate this "in-between" time as strangers in a world awaiting Christ's return, reminding us that our decisions here and now hold eternal significance.  

In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: as God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come. Join us as we walk through 1 Peter verse by verse over the next eight weeks!

Discussion Questions

  • We know that Jesus' precious blood covers all sin, but do you ever feel your sin is beyond forgiveness as if you've gone too far?

  • When was the last time you reflected on heaven, and what awaits you in eternity?
