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 […]
As we close out chapter 2 of First Peter, we see that Peter has shown us so many things when it comes to living a life for Christ. As believers, there should be that inner desire to read God’s Word, so that when we do read it, we hear and learn from it. As Psalm […]
We talked last time that as Christians we are to submit to all authorities that are over us. We do this as obedient children of God, knowing that God has created all the foundations within human society, that would be work, family, and government. We are to be obedient to all authorities as long as […]
So far in chapter 2, Peter has been giving us great godly advice. He’s instructed us not to have anything to do with the way we were before we gave our lives to Christ. It would be foolish to argue against this, because it makes perfect spiritual sense for us, that once we are born-again […]
To start out, last week we talked about as Christians we’re to put off or get rid of the things that used to characterize us, things like malice, which means doing harm to others, violence or in Hebrew “hamas.” Then we are to crave God’s Word, like babies crave mother’s milk, of which there is […]
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 […]
