So much of the world is fleeting—success, possessions, even people’s opinions. But when we build our lives on Jesus, we find a foundation that cannot be shaken. In this episode of Rise and Shine, we dive deep into 1 Peter 1–2 to unpack the truth that the things of this world will pass away, but the Word of God and His Kingdom remain forever.

Together, we’ll explore how to stand firm in faith when the world around us crumbles, and how to anchor our hearts in what truly lasts.

🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • The Eternal vs. The Temporary
    Why chasing after worldly things leaves us empty, and how Scripture reminds us that only what is built on Christ remains (1 John 2:17).

  • Jesus as Our Cornerstone
    From Matthew 8 and 1 Peter 2, discover what it means for Christ to be the foundation of your life and how to build with faith, obedience, and love.


  • God’s Solid Foundation
    2 Timothy 2:19 tells us that God’s firm foundation stands, sealed with His truth. Explore what this means for your identity and security in Him.


  • Practical Steps to Build on Jesus
    How to move from chasing the temporary to investing in the eternal through daily habits of prayer, Scripture, and surrender.


    📜 Key Scriptures:

  • 1 Peter 1–2 – Our call to holiness and Christ as the living cornerstone.

  • Matthew 24:10–13 – Remaining faithful through trials and testing.

  • 1 John 2:17 – The world and its desires will pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

  • 2 Timothy 2:19 – God’s firm foundation stands unshaken.

    Key Takeaways:

  • Everything the world builds will fade—but God’s Word and His Kingdom endure forever.

  • Jesus is our cornerstone, and only a life built on Him will stand the test of time.

  • Faith that endures is not passive—it is daily surrender, trust, and alignment with God’s will.
