1 Peter 1:13-21

Author: GCC Jackson September 8, 2024 Duration: 0:00
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a] 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

At the heart of Grace Community Church, Jackson, MS is a simple, profound conviction: Christ is all. This weekly podcast from GCC Jackson gives voice to that conviction, sharing sermons and conversations from a community of believers scattered across the Jackson-Metro area. You’ll hear teaching grounded in scripture, from books like Colossians and Philippians, that explores what it means to exist for Jesus in the complexities of modern life. The discussions aren’t confined to theology alone; they naturally extend into culture, philosophy, and the everyday realities of society, always circling back to the aim of magnifying the worth and beauty of Jesus in everything. Each episode is an invitation to consider how a life purchased by Christ shapes our response to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. It’s about faith lived out, not just talked about. Whether you’re from Jackson or elsewhere, this podcast offers thoughtful, substantive engagement with Christianity and spirituality, reflecting a community seeking to obey not out of duty, but from a transformed heart. Tune in for a consistent, challenging, and encouraging look at a faith where Christ is central to all.
