Changed by His Divine Power
There is a subtle lie often promoted in the Church, which says God does the saving and now that we’re saved, we’re responsible for the changing. As we begin a new study in 2nd Peter, the Apostle informs us that God not only saves, but He also changes us by His divine power. Join us as we discover God’s power to change a human life.
Staying Spiritually Healthy in Tribulation
We end our study in 1 Peter with the Apostle telling us how to endure difficulty without losing faith. This is perhaps the most important lesson that the follower of Christ needs to learn. Join us as we learn how to navigate times where God appears to have failed us.
What is a Healthy Church?
As we arrive at the final chapter of 1st Peter, the Apostle now closes the letter with a description of a healthy church. These final verses provide us with a guide to follow in order that we might become spiritually healthy followers of Christ. Join us as we discover the Bible’s description of a healthy follower of Christ.
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.
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.
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.
Living Life in the Face of Unending Pressure
The Apostle Peter has told us that we are to respond to persecution and unfairness with right living. We are to stop the mouth of our accusers by living holy lives. Peter now quickly tells us that living a holy life may not stop the harassment. So, here at the end of chapter 3, he tells us what we are to do in the face of unending pressure.
Ingredients for a Wonderful Life
Every human being who is mentally well-adjusted longs to have a wonderful life. What makes the next section that we come to in our study of 1st Peter so interesting is the Apostle Peter will tell us how we can experience a wonderful life. Join us as Peter writes to “Whoever desires to love life and see good days."
