Sunday Morning | September 22, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY
Pastor John's sermon, based on 1 Peter 2:1-3, is part of the larger series titled "1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering." In this particular message, Pastor John discusses three practical ways to get out of a spiritual rut, guiding us to grow deeper in our faith. First, he advises us to "Change your clothes," which symbolizes removing destructive emotions like envy—a powerful negative force that doesn’t just want what others have but wishes ill upon them. Pastor John highlights a quote from Tim Keller, emphasizing how dangerous envy can be. The second step is to "Get hungry" for spiritual growth. Pastor John unpacks three layers of hunger: having a deep longing for God, constantly seeking growth, and choosing your spiritual nourishment wisely. Lastly, the sermon reminds us to "Remember the good taste" of God's goodness, as reflected in Psalm 34. This final step encourages us to hold on to the experiences we've had of God's goodness and let them fuel our faith journey forward.
