The Result of Trials
Trials can seem both haphazard and pointless. However, what we find in our current study of 1 Peter is that they are used of God to produce tremendous results. Peter informs us that what God is doing in our trials is securing for us, a blessed future. Join us as we look at the value of our faith being tried.
A Change of Perspective
Stress has a way of distorting our outlook on life. Pain, anxiety, and disappointment can cause us to see hopelessness in all directions. In our study of 1 Peter, the Apostle speaks a word of hope to the disciples of Christ who find themselves facing great challenges to their faith. Join us in our study as Peter lays out for us what is to be the disciple’s perspective on life.
The Central Dogma of Christianity
In Church life we find many things that we can disagree on that are not central to the Faith. In such cases, we agree to disagree, and we continue to love one another and pray for each other. However, as we focus on 1 Peter chapter one once again, we come to a theological issue that we must never compromise on. Join us as we look at what is absolutely central to our Faith.
Authenticity Part 2
We close out our study in James with James giving the final word on authentic Christianity. This section of Scripture provides with a clear understanding of what the lifestyle of a Biblical follower of Christ is going to look like. Last time, we saw James tell the first two markers of authenticity were endurance and a commitment to keep one’s word. Join us now as see what the final two markers are.
Authentic Christianity
Counterfeit faith can have dire consequences. Coming near the end of our study in the book of James, the author now lays out markers that indicate what authentic faith in Christ will produce in our lives. Join us as we seek to discover if our faith is authentic or if it’s a cheap imitation.
