Once Saved, Always Saved? Um, Not According to the Apostle Peter... The blessed assurance we have because Jesus is mine does not give us permission or reason to deliberately turn away from the Word and will of God.

Growing in Faith--the Role of the Bible 1 Peter 1 talks a lot about growing spiritually. It also talks a lot about the Bible and its certainty. Don't think that those are unrelated... - Bill Allen - Tuesday, July 29, 2025
"Make Every Effort--to Have Assurance in Jesus" 2 Peter 1:10-11 speaks of our calling and election in Christ. The previous lesson covered that. This study looks at the call to "make every effort" to find assurance through our life of faithful obedience. - Bill Allen - Thursday, July 24, 2025

Summarizing the book of 1 Peter is hard and easy. At the same time. Hard because there's so much there. Easy because these verses do it for you, affirming the Christian's identity and mission in one short, powerful passage. - Bill Allen - Tuesday, July 8, 2025
Servant LIVING--Part 2 Servant living means humbling yourself and resisting the devil. To do that we must trust God and rely on one another, as 1 Peter 5:5-14 affirms. - Bill Allen - Thursday, July 3, 2025
