The True Grace Of God
1 Peter 5:12-14 Grace. A word that has so much meaning but is so misunderstood today. We will conclude our series through 1 Peter entitled: Alien Life Form: How to Live Life as an Alien, this Sunday. Peter concludes his letter with a challenge to all of us, to stand firm in the true grace of God. We have to understand grace in order to stand firm in it. So, this Sunday we will discover what true grace is and how it works…
Let’s Battle!
1 Peter 5:8-11 Whether we believe it or not. Whether we like it or not. We are in a battle for our lives. The spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places are at war with us as children of God. Their objective is to steal, kill, and destroy all God has planned for us. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of seeing God’s people lose. I hate seeing the enemy steal, kill and destroy the lives of believers through his…
Danger is Lurking
1 Peter 5:8 Satan. At one time, a majority of Christians believed in the existence of a literal spiritual enemy called Satan. My, how times have changed! According to a 2009 Barna Research poll, “Four out of ten Christians (40%) strongly agreed that Satan “is not a living being but is a symbol of evil.” An additional two out of ten Christians (19%) said they “agree somewhat” with that perspective. Only a minority of Christians (26%) indicated that they believe Satan…
The Answer For Anxiety
1 Peter 5:6-7 According to the National Institute of Mental Health, “An estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder at some time in their lives.” I do not know about you, but I am in this 31.1% of American adults. Whether you would consider your anxiety a “disorder” or not, the truth is, everyone experiences what the Bible calls anxiety, worry, or cares. Jesus addressed the worries of this life and gave us His solution. Peter also addresses…
Shepherds, Sheep, and Submission
1 Peter 5:1-5 In everything God has designed there is order. Whether it’s the family structure, societies, or the church, God has a brilliant design for each in order to carry out His plan for the ages. How the church is structured and operating from that structure accurately ensures the proper function and effectiveness of the church. This Sunday, we will look at 1 Peter 5:1-5 and see how God has designed the church to function in order to carry out…
Eye on the Prize
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Life is a race we all run. The question followers of Jesus need to ask themselves each day is, “Am I running the race God set for me?” If we are not focused on running the race God set before us, we are still running, but we are running in vain. Thank God the race He set before us is not a sprint (I intentionally avoid running fast at my age), but a marathon. He has also…
Fires Of Faith
1 Peter 4:12-19 Suffering. It’s a part of everyone’s life. But how we view and respond to suffering can make all the difference when it comes to following Jesus in life. If we see our suffering as an unwanted inconvenience that must simply endure until life returns to “normal”, then our suffering will have no real value and life will lose its luster. However, if we view our suffering as a divine opportunity to transform our character and behavior, then we…
Mind Your Own Business
1 Peter 4:4-11 As a people whose lives have been radically changed by Jesus Christ, our values and lifestyle become increasingly different than those of the world. The more we grow in understanding of God’s plan for us as Christians, it seems the world gets darker every day. The temptation then for us is to look at the world around us and judge or condemn them for their ungodly behaviors. But that is not our prerogative, it’s God’s. This Sunday, we…
Fervent Followers
1 Peter 4:1-6 What does it mean to fervently follow Jesus? This Sunday, we will dive back into our study of 1 Peter beginning in chapter 4. In this chapter Peter challenges his readers to consider their former lives of living according to the flesh and to make a decision to stop dabbling in their old lifestyle of self-will and start living instead for God’s will.
