1 Peter 2:9-11

Pastor Jayson Workman

Introduction

 

Don’t let your desires derail God’s direction for your life.

 

1. Consider Your Calling (vv. 9–10)

 

Hebrews 13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

 

2. Consecrate Your Cravings (v. 11)

 

Quote: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” —C.S. Lewis

 

1 Corinthians 2:9 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”

 

3. Continue Your Conflict (vv. 11–12)

 

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

 

Quote: “I have had more trouble with D.L. Moody than with any man I know.” —Dwight L. Moody
