Have you ever been in a relationship or community that just felt off, or maybe even ended up completely broken, but you couldn’t put your finger on what went wrong?
This week, Zach talked to us about the community killers that Peter laid out in 1 Peter 2. Malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. But… those are such bad-sounding words and we are pretty good people, so that couldn’t be applicable to us, right? When we pull back the curtain and look at the actual definitions, we realize they constantly surround us. And, if we don’t actively guard against them, they will make their way into our circles.
Luckily, Peter didn’t stop with the killers of community, he turns us back to the fulfillment in Jesus. Join us as we learn about how leaning into the identity that God is calling us to can provide all of the protection we need.
