1 Peter 2:4-10 Proclaiming His Excellencies

1 Peter 2:2-10
We Come to Him.
We Get Built Up.
We Proclaim His Excellencies

Hebrews 13:15-16

We can proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WAYS.
Hebrews 15:16 Do not neglect to do good

1 Peter 2:11-12

We can proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORDS.
Hebrews15:16 …and to share what you have

We can proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORSHIP.
Hebrews 15:15 …continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

We can proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WAYS, IN OUR WORDS, and IN OUR WORSHIP.

Three Challenges:

Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORDS: find a way to mention Jesus to someone who needs to hear about him in an in-person conversation this week.

Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WAYS: do a random act of kindness to someone outside your family, but not in total secret. Be sure the person knows you did what you did because of your love for Jesus.

Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORSHIP: take time to write a letter to God expressing your love, affection and thanks for the many ways you’ve seen his goodness (in your life and in our world).
