Morning: Mark 13:32–33; Mark 13:37; Luke 12:35–36; 1 Corinthians 15:24; James 5:8–9; 1 Peter 4:7; 2 Peter 3:9; 2 Peter 3:11; Revelation 22:20 Then comes the end. “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come…. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”—The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.—The coming of the Lord is at hand…. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.—“Surely I am coming soon.” Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness. The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.—“Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.” Mark 13:32–33 (Listen) No One Knows That Day or Hour 32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake.1 For you do not know when the time will come. Footnotes [1] 13:33 Some manuscripts add and pray (ESV) Mark 13:37 (Listen) 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” (ESV) Luke 12:35–36 (Listen) You Must Be Ready 35 “Stay dressed for action1 and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. Footnotes [1] 12:35 Greek Let your loins stay girded; compare Exodus 12:11 (ESV) 1 Corinthians 15:24 (Listen) 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. (ESV) James 5:8–9 (Listen) 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. (ESV) 1 Peter 4:7 (Listen) 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. (ESV) 2 Peter 3:9 (Listen) 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,1 not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Footnotes [1] 3:9 Some manuscripts on your account (ESV) 2 Peter 3:11 (Listen) 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, (ESV) Revelation 22:20 (Listen) 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! (ESV) Evening: Romans 1:9–10; Ephesians 6:18; Colossians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:25; James 5:14–18 Brothers, pray for us. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him…. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up…. Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.—Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.—Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints. Without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers.—Always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. Romans 1:9–10 (Listen) 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. (ESV) Ephesians 6:18 (Listen) 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, (ESV) Colossians 4:12 (Listen) 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. (ESV) 1 Thessalonians 5:25 (Listen) 25 Brothers, pray for us. (ESV) James 5:14–18 (Listen) 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.1 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit. Footnotes [1] 5:16 Or The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power (ESV)

Morning: Isaiah 53:12; Romans 5:8–9; Romans 6:10; Hebrews 7:24–25; Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:14; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 4:1–2 The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. He… was numbered with the transgressors.—Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many.—He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.—By a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.—He holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. Isaiah 53:12 (Listen) 12   Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,1    and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,2  because he poured out his soul to death    and was numbered with the transgressors;  yet he bore the sin of many,    and makes intercession for the transgressors. Footnotes [1] 53:12 Or with the great [2] 53:12 Or with the numerous (ESV) Romans 5:8–9 (Listen) 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. (ESV) Romans 6:10 (Listen) 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. (ESV) Hebrews 7:24–25 (Listen) 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost1 those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Footnotes [1] 7:25 That is, completely; or at all times (ESV) Hebrews 9:28 (Listen) 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. (ESV) Hebrews 10:14 (Listen) 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. (ESV) 1 Peter 2:24 (Listen) 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (ESV) 1 Peter 4:1–2 (Listen) Stewards of God's Grace 4 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,1 arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. Footnotes [1] 4:1 Some manuscripts add for us; some for you (ESV) Evening: John 15:4–5; John 15:8–10; John 15:12; Romans 5:8; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 4:16; Jude 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God. “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” The fruit of the Spirit is love.—“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.”—Whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”—God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.—God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. John 15:4–5 (Listen) 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (ESV) John 15:8–10 (Listen) 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. (ESV) John 15:12 (Listen) 12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (ESV) Romans 5:8 (Listen) 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (ESV) Galatians 5:22 (Listen) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (ESV) 1 John 2:5 (Listen) 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: (ESV) 1 John 4:16 (Listen) 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. (ESV) Jude 21 (Listen) 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (ESV)

Morning: Matthew 10:24–25; John 13:13; John 15:20; John 17:14; Hebrews 12:1–4; 1 Peter 4:1 “A disciple is not above his teacher.” “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.” “It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master.”—“If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.”—“I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.—Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking. Matthew 10:24–25 (Listen) 24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant1 above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign2 those of his household. Footnotes [1] 10:24 Or bondservant; also verse 25 [2] 10:25 Greek lacks will they malign (ESV) John 13:13 (Listen) 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. (ESV) John 15:20 (Listen) 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. (ESV) John 17:14 (Listen) 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. (ESV) Hebrews 12:1–4 (Listen) Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Do Not Grow Weary 3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. (ESV) 1 Peter 4:1 (Listen) Stewards of God's Grace 4 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh,1 arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, Footnotes [1] 4:1 Some manuscripts add for us; some for you (ESV) Evening: Deuteronomy 5:29; 2 Chronicles 31:21; Psalm 119:32; Proverbs 4:23; Proverbs 23:26; Acts 8:21; Romans 8:7–8; 2 Corinthians 8:5; Ephesians 6:6–7; Colossians 3:23 My son, give me your heart. “Oh that they had such a mind as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants forever!” “Your heart is not right before God.”—For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. They gave themselves first to the Lord.—And every work that [Hezekiah] undertook,… seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life…. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord.—As servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man. I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart! Deuteronomy 5:29 (Listen) 29 Oh that they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants1 forever! Footnotes [1] 5:29 Or sons (ESV) 2 Chronicles 31:21 (Listen) 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.

(ESV) 2 Corinthians 8:5 (Listen) 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us. (ESV) Ephesians 6:6–7 (Listen) 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, (ESV) Colossians 3:23 (Listen) 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, (ESV)

Alexander Pope is quoted as saying, "To err is human, to forgive divine." Forgiveness is an act which only God can fulfill, and it generates from His great love for mankind. So what are the people of God, who should be filled with the love of God, called to do? Forgive - and forgive freely!

As beloved children of God we are promised blessings, not as a result of our good works, but in ways that point us back and draw us closer to our Creator. In every circumstance Christians have assurance of salvation and hope in Christ.

From our 1 Peter sermon series: Living Differently without Being Irrelevant

Morning: Leviticus 19:2; Song of Solomon 4:7; John 3:3; Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 4:22–24; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:14–17; Revelation 21:27 The holiness without which no one will see the Lord. “Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”—But nothing unclean will ever enter it.—There is no flaw in you. “You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.”— As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile.—Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and… be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and… put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.—He chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. Leviticus 19:2 (Listen) 2 “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. (ESV) Song of Solomon 4:7 (Listen) 7   You are altogether beautiful, my love;    there is no flaw in you. (ESV) John 3:3 (Listen) 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again1 he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Footnotes [1] 3:3 Or from above; the Greek is purposely ambiguous and can mean both again and from above; also verse 7 (ESV) Ephesians 1:4 (Listen) 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love (ESV) Ephesians 4:22–24 (Listen) 22 to put off your old self,1 which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Footnotes [1] 4:22 Greek man; also verse 24 (ESV) Hebrews 12:14 (Listen) 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. (ESV) 1 Peter 1:14–17 (Listen) 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, (ESV) Revelation 21:27 (Listen) 27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. (ESV) Evening: Mark 10:29–30; John 16:33; 1 Peter 1:6–7; 1 Peter 4:12; 1 Peter 5:10; Revelation 3:18 “Gold refined by fire.” “There is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.” Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.—Now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.—“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Mark 10:29–30 (Listen) 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. (ESV) John 16:33 (Listen) 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV) 1 Peter 1:6–7 (Listen) 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (ESV) 1 Peter 4:12 (Listen) Suffering as a Christian 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. (ESV) 1 Peter 5:10 (Listen) 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (ESV) Revelation 3:18 (Listen) 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. (ESV)

Message from Terry Williams on June 18, 2023

All Christians are called to be hospitable, to love earnestly and to pray; but Peter also reminds us of our spiritual gifts that make us unique. These gifts are to steward God's grace to one another, making the Church a beautiful picture of community and the gospel as we serve in these last days, awaiting the return of the King.

Morning: Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 1:5; Philippians 3:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17; 2 Timothy 2:11; Hebrews 6:17–18; 1 Peter 4:13 As we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. Share his sufferings.—But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.—If we have died with him, we will also live with him.—If children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.—Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. Romans 8:17 (Listen) 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (ESV) 2 Corinthians 1:5 (Listen) 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.1 Footnotes [1] 1:5 Or For as the sufferings of Christ abound for us, so also our comfort abounds through Christ (ESV) Philippians 3:10 (Listen) 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, (ESV) 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17 (Listen) 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. (ESV) 2 Timothy 2:11 (Listen) 11 The saying is trustworthy, for:   If we have died with him, we will also live with him; (ESV) Hebrews 6:17–18 (Listen) 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. (ESV) 1 Peter 4:13 (Listen) 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. (ESV) Evening: Mark 4:19; Luke 10:41; Luke 12:24; Luke 12:27; Luke 12:29–30; 1 Timothy 6:8–10; Hebrews 12:1 “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.” “Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap…. Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin…. And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them.” But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.—“The cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.” Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Mark 4:19 (Listen) 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. (ESV) Luke 10:41 (Listen) 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, (ESV) Luke 12:24 (Listen) 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! (ESV) Luke 12:27 (Listen) 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,1 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Footnotes [1] 12:27 Some manuscripts Consider the lilies; they neither spin nor weave (ESV) Luke 12:29–30 (Listen) 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. (ESV) 1 Timothy 6:8–10 (Listen) 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (ESV) Hebrews 12:1 (Listen) Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (ESV)

4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

What does it look like when Christians endure suffering in the world? And how are we meant to respond? Peter gives us answers to those questions.

The congregation that is faithful to Christ and helpful to suffering sojourners prays effectively, loves earnestly, shows hospitality, and stewards the gifts of God by serving one another. As the church is obedient in these things, the Lord glorifies his name in the world. Each of us is called to contribute to this kind of congregation in these last days. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

So Peter […] The post Live Different (1 Peter 4:1-6) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
