Cross Church

Summary
Peter addresses dispersed Christian communities, emphasizing three foundational practices: being born again through God's mercy, living in holiness by aligning behavior with identity in Christ, and submitting to Scripture as God's eternal, authoritative word in tension with cultural pressure.
Highlights
If you get this message wrong, we get everything wrong in our church, everything. So it really doesn't matter if we line up with the word of God on every other issue in the Bible. If we get this one wrong, what are we doing? Why are we here?
The entire Christian life is one of alignment, of your behavior coming into alignment with your identity in Christ. That's a good definition of sanctification.
Will my life, my mind and my beliefs be driven by the word of God or by the culture? That's the question you gotta ask of yourself today.
