Chosen to Proclaim
3d ago00:33:37Tap to summarize1 Peter 2:9-129But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, thatyou may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.10Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, butnow you have received mercy.11Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wagewar against your soul. 12Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speakagainst you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

1w ago00:35:08Tap to summarize1 Peter 1:22-2:822Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love oneanother earnestly from a pure heart, 23since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but ofimperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24for“All flesh is like grassand all its glory like the flower of grass.The grass withers,and the flower falls,25but the word of the Lord remains forever.”And this word is the good news that was preached to you.1So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2Like newborninfants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3if indeed you havetasted that the Lord is good.4As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,5you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offerspiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture:“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,a cornerstone chosen and precious,and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”7So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,“The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone,”8and“A stone of stumbling,and a rock of offense.”They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

3w ago00:31:00Tap to summarize1 Peter 1:3-133Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire— may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.13Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Apr 600:27:26Tap to summarizeActs 10:19-4419And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you. 20Rise and go down and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them.” 21And Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your coming?” 22And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23So he invited them in to be his guests.The next day he rose and went away with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. 24And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am a man.” 27And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered. 28And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean. 29So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”30And Cornelius said, “Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing 31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God. 32Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’ 33So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”34So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree, 40but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, 41not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”44While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

Mar 3000:31:07Tap to summarizeActs 4:32-3532Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said thatany of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. 33Andwith great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,and great grace was upon them all. 34There was not a needy person among them, for as many aswere owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35and laidit at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.Acts 6:1-71Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by theHellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the dailydistribution. 2And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not rightthat we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3Therefore, brothers, pickout from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we willappoint to this duty. 4But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”5And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faithand of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, andNicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laidtheir hands on them.7And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multipliedgreatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
