“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.”

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.

SBC logo 204x204

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.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

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.

Hope for the Homeward [1 Peter 1:1-2]

December 25, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/25/2022

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.

SBC logo 204x204

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.

The Pilgrims Hope [1 Peter 1:3-5]

July 17, 2022

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/17/2022

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

Although Peter primarily had in mind the prophetic destruction of Jerusalem, it should never be overlooked that the event itself was a type of the ultimate judgment of the Second Coming, giving all of the apostle’s teaching here a spiritual application for all generations to come.
