Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin, Philippe Sterling and Ken Yates are talking about the contents of 1 Peter.

There are some things to adopt and nurture. There are also some things to put away. Our spiritual growth is not only individual. It is also to be evidenced in our life together in the local church. You will surely find this episode (and this whole series) interesting and motivating. Please listen! SPECIAL OFFER: Bob Wilkin’s book, The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible, is being offered through March 31st, 2023 at half-price for those who use the code word, “MISUNDERSTOOD.”
