Lest We Forget, Part 2
Deuteronomy 8 There is always a danger in our difficult times to remember how God has delivered us in the past. We must always recall those times and thank God for the ways He has rescued us. But there is also a danger when times are good to remember that God is the One who provides all we have and need. This week we will conclude this two-part series from Deuteronomy 8 and see how God wants us to respond…
Lest We Forget
Deuteronomy 8 Thankful? As we approach our national Thanksgiving Holiday, many of us are turning our thoughts to God in remembrance of all the great things He has done for us. In order to be thankful for things God has done for us, one has to stop and reflect on those past times when God showed Himself faithful. Stopping and reflecting though, is not something many of us take time to do in our fast paced lives. For the next two Sundays, we…
Do Gooders Wanted
1 Peter 3:13-17 God is Good! So, as ambassadors of a good God we must be engaged in doing good to others, so that God’s name is glorified and His will is accomplished on earth. Well, what does that look like in 2022? This Sunday, we will dive into 1 Peter 3:13-17 and see what Peter has to say about doing good in such a way that people take notice and God’s will is accomplished.
Vibe Life
1 Peter 3:8-12 That’s right! The Good Vibes continue this Sunday! We will conclude Peter’s thoughts on how to live the Vibe Life. As recipients of the greatest gift ever given, eternal life in Jesus Christ, we should always have positive feelings about who we are and what we’ve been given. So, are you living the Vibe Life? Join us this Sunday to see how you can live the Vibe Life God intends all His children to live!
Good Vibes Only
1 Peter 3:8-12 Have you ever been around a person who was full of life? Someone who always has a kind word to say or sees the bright side of things? Aren’t those people annoying? Actually, the world needs more of these “good vibes only” people today. In fact, the church could use more of these types of believers. We should all be “good vibes only” people when we consider the kind of people God calls us to in 1 Peter…
Hunky Husband
1 Peter 3:7 Being a “Hunky” Husband means being a godly husband. Many husbands struggle to live up to expectations placed on us and oftentimes feel inadequate. Rather than strive to be the husband God calls us to be, we retreat into our own skin and simply just exist. When we do this, we not only suffer and miss out on God’s best for our wives and children but our families miss out on all that God has in store…
God’s Power Couple
1 Peter 3:3-7 Wikipedia defines a power couple as; power couple – noun- a couple consisting of two people who are each influential or successful in their own right. Most Christian couples would never consider themselves a “power couple”. Yet, that is exactly what we can be by God’s divine enablement. We can be God’s Power Couple when we tap into His power and plan for our marriages. When we do, our influence will be experienced by all who observe our lives.
Winning in Marriage
1 Peter 3:1-7 What is the key to a successful marriage? This may be the most asked question and researched subject in all of history! Why? Because, what seems to be true in most marriages today, generally speaking, is that husbands and wives live lonely, unfulfilled marital lives. The dreams of marital bliss that captured the imaginations of so many hopeful couples, within a few years of marriage, turn into nightmares of reality that marriage is hard, marriage is work,…
Life’s Not Fair
1 Peter 2:18-25 Life is not fair! Have you ever heard one of your children say this? Have you said this? Truth is, Life is not fair. But, we serve a God who knows and sees all of life’s injustices and gives us hope in the midst of life’s unfair circumstances.
Admirable Aliens
1 Peter 2:13-17 God’s plan to bring the Gospel to the world is to use His redeemed people to spread the message of Jesus Christ. Because this message is so important, it is imperative that God’s messengers not only share the message, but also do nothing to hinder the message from being received. Not only is the message important, but so is the way in which God’s people represent Him as His messengers. This Sunday we will learn how believers…
A Matter of Life & Death
1 Peter 2:11-12 Does it really matter how I live my life as a believer in Jesus Christ? After all, who really notices how I live anyway? What real impact does the way I live have on me, those closest to me, or a watching world? Well, if you ask Peter, how we choose to live out our time on earth as citizens of Heaven and aliens on this earth, is a matter of life and death! It not only…
The Rock
1 Peter 2:4-10 Who is your rock in life? A spouse? A parent? Maybe a friend? Jesus Christ is said to be the Rock. He is the only one who we can truly depend on, not only for our salvation, but for our time on earth. This Sunday, we will discover how Jesus is the Rock and how He wants us to trust in His unfailing, steadfast love for life and eternity.
