Description:
SBC Host: What would you do if you knew Christ was returning today?
Avg Guy: Clean the house?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study through 1 Peter in which we’re reminded that “the end of all things is near.”
But our response shouldn’t be to put on a pretty face.
Instead, we should do what we’ve always been called to do: to pray, to love, to be hospitable, to serve with the gifts given us.
… recognizing that these seemingly routine tasks — when coupled with His imminent return — infuse us with a heightened anticipation that enables us as Christians to live lives filled with great purpose and intentionality, allowing us to not only participate in God’s redemptive work, but — above all else — to bring Him glory.

VINDICATED and VICTORIOUS.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and shows us how Christ’s suffering unites us with His victory.
Having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit… Christ died — the Just for the unjust — for sins, once for all.… so that He might bring us to the One in heaven whose right hand He sits: GOD.

Putting the differing theological theories to the test:
- Where did Jesus go?
- When did Jesus go?
- What did He do there?
- Who was His audience?
- How well does this fit with Peter’s overall message of Christ’s suffering, victory, and vindication in chapter3, verses 18-22?
“When you have eliminated all that which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

Key Text: 1 Peter 3:13-17
Description:
Always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you…. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
1 Peter 15b, 17
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that it is when we, the believer, face the strongest opposition, we are most often used of God.
For when we endure suffering — while maintaining good works and sharing Christ — we are able to demonstrate, for all to see, the HOPE we have within.

Apostle Peter (writing): To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit….
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which he reveals the apostle’s summary to the believer.
Apostle Peter (writing): …not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.
For as those who will inherit eternal life, believers — indeed — receive God’s blessing, AND, likewise, as they pursue righteousness, are called to bless others.

Though the pendulum of cultural ideas may swing, God’s word and will do not.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and addresses a passage that, throughout the ages, has been the subject of much cultural pushback and controversy: the ideal, definition, and purpose of MARRIAGE.
And though the culture may shift back and forth in ideas to suit… this passage unwaveringly lays out the fulfillment of God’s UNCHANGING design for marriage:
√ A wife that submits to her husband
AND…
√ A husband that honors his wife

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.

What motivates you to respect authority?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow returns to our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that because God has liberated us from the power of sin, we, therefore, honor Him by submitting to proper authority.
Because the only true motivation for respect of authority are His compassionate chains of grace.

And the cornerstone of this house is *THE* Living Stone — the One chosen and valued by God, but rejected by man — Jesus Christ.

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.

For with our eyes set on eternity, we are to imitate God’s holiness in consideration of His plan for our salvation.

Church Privilege.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of 1 Peter and talks about the “privilege” we are all afforded when we follow the cross.
For as believers we possess a privilege that far exceeds wealth, opportunity, and even safety… so much so, that it motivates us to level of thankful obedience.
That privilege: having the “full picture” of the saving work of Jesus Christ.

…The sole possession of those who have trusted in Christ.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we see the apostle begin his letter with an encouragement to praise God for the amazing salvation we have in Christ — a living hope brought about by Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.
For because of His mercy we have a reservation in heaven, guarded by God, to obtain an inheritance — an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and that (as it says in the King James) fadeth not away.

Description:
His greeting went way beyond “Hello.”
Today, Christmas Morning, on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow presents us the gift of new a study in the book of 1 Peter — a book that encourages and equips the suffering, exiled Christian.
For in just the first two verses, not only does Peter’s salutation greet — but remind.
It reminds us of just who we are — through a complex set of mighty designations involving God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son, Jesus Christ… Who’d make His entry into this world — helpless, naked, and lying in a manger.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Key Text: James 3:13-18
Description:
SBC Host: Just what is WISDOM exactly?
Avg Guy: Well, according to Wikipedia, WIDSOM (also know as sapience or sagacity) is the ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.
SBC Host: Fair enough. But there’s something very important that your definition is missing.
Avg Guy: Oh??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow takes to the pulpit to uncover the “challenge test” that James puts forth onto wisdom.
Because while wisdom IS “the ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight” …it’s where that ability COMES FROM that matters.
For wisdom can either come from above (being pure, peaceable, and gentle) or from below (full of bitter jealousy, arrogance, and selfish ambition).

Description:
In order for God’s Church to function as He intends, we have to CARE.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow brings us a message from Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians exhorting the congregation to CARE about each other’s walk with God.
Paul wasn’t addressing the unruly, fainthearted, or weak…
…but addressing those who were in position to help those people — to notice, come alongside, invest in, and care for those very people around them that were struggling — giving wisdom from above.

Key Text: Psalm 27
Description:
Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me… I shall be confident.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow takes the pulpit to share a Psalm, a prayer, a very raw and vulnerable cry to God from King David. And while this psalm demonstrates fearless trust, courageous confidence, and unwavering faith… it also shows us something else: David is scared.
“Please don’t leave me Lord.”
It’s hard to imagine someone of his stature feeling this way… and yet, he does. And by God’s grace it is recorded for us as an example to pattern and learn from — an encouraging imperative.
For as David concludes:
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord,
In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
