Description:
You call God, Father?? …Then act like it.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow shows us that THIS is what Peter exhorts to his readers in our study of 1 Peter this week.
“Do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.”
For with our eyes set on eternity, we are to imitate God’s holiness in consideration of His plan for our salvation.

Key Text: 1 Peter 1:10-12
Description:
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.

Rejoicing while suffering??
…How is that even possible?!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and shows us how for the recipients of this letter, persecution and suffering was a daily experience.

Key Text: 1 Peter 1:3-5
Description:
Hope.
…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.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Key Text: 1 Peter 1:1-2
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.

Sermon Notes

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).

Key Text:1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
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.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
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.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Key Text: 1 Peter 1:3-5
Description:
I could not have begun to love thee hadst thou not
first loved me,
or been willing unless thou hadst first made me so.
O that such a crown should fit the head of
such a sinner!
…And so goes —but a stanza of— a rich, Truth-soaked Puritan Prayer.*
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, in his first official sermon as pastor, Josh Peglow takes to the pulpit to illuminate a marvelous hope — a marvelous truth — we find in scripture.
It’s a truth and hope that shows us that God is to be blessed for His work in bringing about an unassailable salvation to His heavenly people.
And the Puritan Prayer? Well, it encapsulates this reality beautifully:
Let thy love draw me nearer to thyself,
wean me from sin, mortify me to this world,
and make me ready for my departure hence.
Secure me by thy grace as I sail across this
stormy sea.
