Sermon Notes
Date: 10/15/2023
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 2:21-25
Description:
He was pierced through our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
— Isaiah 53:5
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in 1 Peter, in which we come across a passage that Peter masterfully weaves the rich descriptions of Christ as The Suffering Servant, we see in Isaiah 53, into his epistle and expands upon it into application as to how we ought to live.
For Christ’s righteous suffering for our sin is the pattern and power for our own righteous response, when we suffer… as we look to trace our lives over the life of 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.
