    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 9, 2011
     | 9,198 views

    Don’t fear people. Fear Christ and follow Him from grief to glory. Look to Jesus alone to keep your conscience clear even in the midst of your pain. Then you will enjoy the benefit of pain.

    Joanna Lerud of Steamboat Rock, Iowa, was standing up to leave a restaurant when she hit her head hard on a lamp hanging above the table. As she staggered away, she heard an older gentleman, who was sitting nearby, say, “It will feel better when it stops hurting.” (Joanna Lerud, ...read more

    Giving a clear testimony of the Gospel is part of being a follower of Christ.

    Testimony. What goes through your mind when you hear that word? Maybe a court scene and telling about a crime you witnessed. Or making a statement to the Police. Or standing in front of a large group to share your personal experience with God. The word “testimony” comes from the word ...read more

    Contributed by James Parker on Mar 6, 2011
     | 4,335 views

    The world in rebellion against God and worldly people under the influence of Satan seek to destroy our faith. In light of this, and the times that we live in, it is important that Christians not only know what we believe but why we believe what we believe

    A-Z Of Boldness A Bold Defense 1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, ...read more

    Always Be Prepared

     | 5,916 views

    God wants us to be available and to use the gifts, time and talents He has given us to serve Him and grow His church. We do not need a Seminary education or special training, just a willingness to follow His lead.

    Exodus 3:1-14, 4:1-3 and 10-13 1st Peter 3 v.9-17 (esp. v 15) SERMON – Always be prepared to give an answer Every page in the bible contains good advice and that contained in 1st Peter 3 is no exception, and I would like to concentrate on one verse in particular: v.15. People notice ...read more

    based on 13 ratings
     | 14,088 views

    This message from my youth ministry days was my attempt to explain the reasons some churches were unfriendly and some individuals were thoughtless with regards to the feelings of others in the church. The text is 1 Peter 3:8-18

    Thick Skinned and Tender-hearted TEXT: I Peter 3:8-18 INTRODUCTION: “I was a stranger in the city. The church sign read, ‘Welcome‘, so I went in. I smiled at the Sunday school children as they rushed to their classes. Neither they nor their parents greeted me. After I sat ...read more

    The 8th talk in a series. This talk encourages believers to have some resources to explain the hope we have, and challenges not-yet-Christians to respond to Christ.

    “…in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). When people know that we’re Christians they will watch us carefully ...read more

    A message from 1 Peter 3 reminding listeners to submit to authority.

    Let's turn your Bible, by the way, to I Peter Chapter three. I Peter Chapter three, we’re in a sermon series right now where we’re looking through this book, this powerful letter, written by one of the pillars of church. Peter, when he wrote this letter, was an older man. He was ...read more

    The Witness Stand

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 15, 2011
     | 5,609 views

    Everything we do as Christians witnesses to others who we are and what we believe. We cannot avoid our "witness stand" as Christains.

    THE WITNESS STAND Text: I Peter 3:13 - 22 "A man went out to a river for a time of quiet meditation one morning. During his meditation he noticed that the river was rising as well as a scorpion that was trapped in the roots of a tree. He tried to release the ...read more

    Reinventing The Church 2 Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,432 views

    We will no longer be a “Silent” Church, but a “Story” Church! IN REINVENTING THE CHURCH WE MUST SEE THAT OUR STORIES OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST MUST BE SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

    Last week I spoke about how the church is in crisis and unless we REINVENT the church, she will continue to die a slow but sure death. One of the ways we need to REINVENT the church today is by no longer being a COME AND GET IT church, but instead, a GO AND GET THEM church as Jesus modeled when ...read more

    The Boy Scouts Motto is ‘Be Prepared’. Peter is saying here that it may as well be ours. Peter is exhorting in this verse God’s people to be prepared to give: 1) An Answer, 2) To Everyone, 3) The Reason & 4) With Gentleness

    Introduction: Last time we talked about Hell – the awful place with motivation to stay out and keep others from too. We seem to be living in a particularly gracious time where God is doing whatever necessary to draw our nation to Him. It is imperative in this scenario that we are prepared to ...read more

    The Hope In You

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008
     | 3,584 views

    Hope is the opposite of despair; how can I "sanctify" Christ in my heart so I can defend the Gospel in this despair-filled world?

    but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; 1 Peter 3: 15 (NRSVA) Hope is the opposite of despair. Charles Swindoll tells the story of a missionary who was sitting by her ...read more

    There will be times in our lives when we suffer for doing good deeds, but follow Jesus’ example and continue doing good deeds.

    Text: “Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?” (I Peter 3:13). How many people here this morning like to do good deeds? We like to do good deeds because we were raised with that thought in mind. Our parents taught us the difference between good and evil. Our Sunday school ...read more

    A sermon about giving hope to the hopeless.

    The last few weeks we have been on the topic of hope. It is my hope today to take in all these little bits on the topic we have been hearing about and compress it all together into a neat little package. The result being why this message of hope is so important to you and me. You do realize that ...read more

    It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be victory.

    THE BIG IDEA: It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be VICTORY. Think about how absurd Christianity sounded back when it was brand new (in the first century): Christians worship a man who was executed as a criminal and who they claim came back to ...read more
