1 Peter 2:1-3 offers three steps to growing in your faith and walk in the Lord:

a.) Change your clothes (rid yourselves of sinful ways)

b.) Change your diet (hunger for the Word of God)

c.) Remember God’s goodness (what He offers far surpasses that which the world can give)

Five things to put away:

• Malice: ill-will, spite, revenge

• Deceit: crookedness, guile

• Hypocrisy: pretending to be what you’re not

• Envy: jealousy

• Slander: gossip (Eph 4:29)

If you crave the above, you won’t have an appetite to crave the things of God.

Summary: Leave sin, long for growth, love earnestly, and keep the Lord as your focus (Pastor David)
