I Peter 2:1 “Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, Peter begins chapter 2 by saying “therefore” which causes us to reflect on what he was just talking about in chapter 1. Peter taught us that we have been saved by the precious blood of Jesus, that […]
We saw last week a command for us to be holy, it wasn’t a suggestion, but a specific command to us from God’s Word. So, it is important for us to be able to personally define what being holy is for ourselves. To be holy is to be morally blameless, this comes about by the […]
We ended last week discussing how the prophets were curious and very interested in the prophesies they spoke of. They weren’t sure what it all meant. They knew the Messiah was going to come because God made that promise, but they just didn’t know how it was all going to play out. We can relate […]
So far in the first six verses of First Peter we’ve seen that God has chosen us to be adopted into His family, delivered us to His sanctification process, refined us into Christlikeness, and called us to obedience through the shed blood of Jesus.

In our last lesson we took a good look at what it means for each one of us to put on the full armor of God. Unlike the Roman soldiers of Paul’s day, who would put on and take off their armor depending on the conditions, once we put on the armor of God, we […]
As we continue in the book of Ephesians, Paul is instructing us in how we fight the spiritual battles of life. Before we talk about how we are to dress for battle, I just want to recap a little about the enemy forces we are facing. We know that just living in this world, we […]
As we started out in chapter 6 of Ephesians, Paul instructs children by telling them that their godly duty is to obey and respect their parents. Now this might not be too hard for the children who have believers as parents, but we should pray for those kids who have parents that do not belong […]
We closed out chapter 5 with some great godly advice on how to nourish and maintain a healthy marriage, that wives are to submit to their husbands as to the Lord. As a wife does this, she becomes the ultimate encourager for her husband, as well as a support system with a godly foundation. This […]
