Join us at Woodlands Church as we continue in our Chosen Exiles series. Today's sermon is preached by Pastor Jon Ewton and  We explore 1 Peter 2:1-3, using the powerful imagery of clothing and newborn infants to illustrate spiritual growth.  Pastor Jon encourages us to identify and shed negative behaviors that hinder our ability to love one another—malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.  He then guides us toward embracing kindness, truthfulness, authenticity, gratitude, and encouragement.  Finally, he emphasizes the vital importance of craving God's Word—pure spiritual milk—as the nourishment we need to mature in our faith and grow into salvation.  Join us as we reflect on how to cultivate a more mature and loving relationship with God and one another.
