As Peter opens up chapter 5, he has instructed the leaders in the church to make sure that they take very good care of the flock that God has entrusted to them. We can also take the application of this even further by being involved in the caring for and overseeing of our family, friends, […]
I Peter 5:1 “Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,” Peter is again starting out by saying “therefore,” referring back to all he has instructed us about suffering in and for Christ. […]
Last week Peter trained us up by bringing the word “fervent” into view, that we should have a “fervent love” for each other, and also be willing to extend this same fervent love to strangers. This means we’re willing to put in the extra effort that it takes to do that, just like an athlete […]
Looking back on what we covered so far in chapter 4, let’s remember to “arm ourselves” with the same attitude that Jesus had. Don’t give in looking back to a time when we didn’t have Christ in our life. Looking back to the “good ’ol days,” could possibly bring sinful thoughts to your mind. When […]
In chapter 3, we were taught about having submission in the home. This is especially important to the wife who has a husband that is an unbeliever as her continued witness before him could be used by God to save him. The Christian husband is to treat his wife with love and respect, having an […]
I Peter 3:16 “And keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.” In the previous verses Peter has instructed us that God’s eyes are always on us, that He’s always watching over His children, and He […]

Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults […]
I Peter 3:8 “To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;” (NKJV) “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous.” (NLT) “Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each […]
Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch, and the Elves… they all have the night off tonight. I want to talk about Christmas and all that it holds for us. First off, we need to count our blessings that we still have the freedom to openly celebrate the coming of our […]
As we dig into the first part of chapter 3, we can label it as “Understanding marriage from God’s perspective.” All along Peter has been giving us life lessons from God’s Word, and in verses 1 to 7 he will speak both to the husband and wife. One pastor says, “We should not be surprised […]
