Building Out
Mark Howard
As we wrap up our Blueprint series, we focus on our third goal: building out bridges to the world. 1 Peter 2:9-12 demonstrates how we can put this into practice by living among, rather than avoiding culture, abstaining from our sins and temptations, and attracting outsiders to the merciful Christ.
Building In
Mark Howard
In 1 Peter 2:1-10, Peter encourages believers struggling to find their identity to embrace being God’s chosen people in a divided world. Through this encouragement, believers today can invest in deeper fellowship by understanding our shared identity as God’s people, our shared mission of declaring God’s graces, and our shared experience of God’s amazing mercy.
