Positive Practices for the Holy Discontents

Teacher:
Series:
Passage: 1 Peter 2:24
Service Type:

On this Sunday, Dr. Jay Dudley taught from 1 Peter 2:24 and showing that an intended result of Christ bearing our sin is that we die to it and live to righteousness. The word translated “die” here is a euphemism meaning “absent” or “missing.” This suggests that we can increasingly die to sin– by thinking and acting absent, missing, not available to it. The sermon explores this and three other biblically grounded pictures of spiritual practices that strengthen resolve and resistance to temptation and sin.
