Sermon Notes
Date: 07/02/2023
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 1:22-25
Description:
To love like Christ loves. It’s the identity marker of the church.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that we are commanded to love others.
But it’s not always easy to love others — especially with the self-sacrificing love of Christ.
That’s because you can’t… unless, and until, you are reborn — reborn with a purified heart, through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.

Questions:
The following are questions to help you think about Pastor Josh’s sermon, as well as offer a set of discussion questions for family worship, or gathering together in other settings. My prayer is that these questions will allow you to dwell longer, and meditate more, upon God’s holy Word and will be fodder for sanctifying conversations. — M.S.
