The Principles that Connect Our Habits:
Christian Living as the Church
Text: 1 Peter 2:9-12
1. Our Identity: Who we are in Christ
~ Chosen
~ Royal
~ Holy
~ Treasured Possessions
Identity connects our knowing God (God Time) to
worshiping God (Gather Time)
2. Our Character: Who we become in Christ
~ Abstain
~ Wage War
~ Our Conduct
~ Spoken Against
Character connects our worshiping (Gather Time) and
growing (Grow Time)
3. Our Relationship: Who we are together
~ a Chosen Race
~ a Royal Priesthood
~ a Holy Nation
~ a people of His own Possession
Relationship connects our growing (Grow Time) to serving
(Go Time)
4. Our Mission: What we do with Christ
~ Proclaim
~ Sojourners
~ Exiles
~ See Your Good Deeds
Mission connects serving to reaching the lost (Go Time)
