Holy? Who, Me?

Rev. Paul J. Miller – Sermon Outline – March 8, 2026

“’Holy’, Who, Me?” – 1 Peter 1:13-2:3

What does “holy” mean?

Sacred, hallowed, set apart, wholeness

To be “holy” is not moral content, but positional intent.

What “holy” means

I am intentionally and purposefully setting myself apart from the ways, systems, and patterns of this world and following the way of Jesus.
