Bitterness is the Enemy of the Will of God

In the beginning of 1 Peter chapter 4, the Apostle Peter is encouraging us to separate ourselves from sin. His readers are going through a difficult season of life and it’s a human tendency to become disappointed with God when He seems not to be answering our prayers. Join us as Peter exhorts us to live holy lives in difficult times.

A Healthy View of the Second Coming of Christ

One out of every twenty-five verses in the New Testament refers to Christ’s coming to reign over the world. Clearly the second coming of Christ is to be a central doctrine for the church. However, where our study in 2nd Peter now takes us, is to give us an understanding on how we are to relate to our Lord’s coming so that we might live in a way that honors Him. Join us to see what a healthy perspective of the second coming looks like.

How to Glorify God in Times of Difficulty

Coming to the final verses of 1st Peter chapter 4, the Apostle Peter closes out the section of the letter that deals with suffering. Here we’re told not only that God’s will can lead us into suffering, but He can also use that suffering to glorify Himself. Join us as we take a final look into 1st Peter chapter 4.

Our Response To The Lord’s Work

As we move forward in 1 Peter, we transition from what God has promised, to what we do in response of His wonderful work. Great and glorious things await the believer. But as we spend our time in this life for now, what does God require? Join us as we discover the three response we are to give in light of what God has given to us.

Motivation for Being Faithful

It’s a common trait to want to take the path of least resistance. For the original recipients of Peter’s first letter, the path of least resistance was to pull back on their commitment to Christ. To encourage these early followers of Christ, Peter lays out at the end of chapter one some strong motivation to be faithful. Join us as we seek to be motivated in our walk with Christ.

Traits Seen in the Family of God

Every family has certain traits, both physical and emotional. When looking at the family of God, there will be certain behavioral traits on display. As we begin chapter two of 1 Peter, we will discover there are certain expectations for those that claim that they have been born again. Join us as we discover what should be on display in our lives if we claim faith in Christ.

How to Respond When Being Lied About?

The Apostle Peter is writing to believers who were victims of an orchestrated disinformation campaign, being waged by the Roman government. When lies are being told about us, anger is our natural response. However, Peter encourages us to go in a completely different direction. Join us in our study of 1 Peter chapter 2, as we look into the Biblical response to slander.

When Life Isn’t Fair

As we move to the final verses of 1 Peter chapter 2, the Apostle is dealing with injustice. It is in these verses that we learn that every follower of Christ has the same calling. That calling is that we are to handle injustice the very same way that Christ handled it. Join us as we look at the impossible path that every disciple is called to walk upon.
