Stop Playing Both Sides | 1 Peter: Different on Purpose

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of being fully committed to God as taught in 1 Peter 1:13-21.

Following Jesus makes you different. That difference most commonly and brilliantly shows up when life gets hard. This week, we will be studying 1 Peter 1:13-21 under the theme “Stop Playing Both Sides.” A holy God desires the whole of a person, not double agents who serve two masters. This text teaches focused, sober-minded commitment to the One who committed to us. Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!
