    Jesus is 1) Believers’ perfect standard for suffering (1 Peter 2:21-23), 2) their perfect substitute in suffering (1 Peter 2:24), and 3) became their perfect shepherd through suffering (1 Peter 2:25).

    1 Peter 2:21-25 [21] For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. [22] He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. [23] When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he ...read more

     | 4,278 views

    What does obedience to God’s delegated authority look like? How can we be a good example for the world to see? How can we live peaceable with all men especially those in authority? Paul devotes an entire chapter to the subject of respect for authority.

    Sermon – Respect and Obey God’s Delegated Authority (How Christian ought to Behave) Romans 13: 1-10, “Everyone must submit to governing authorities.

    Endurance Under Stress Series

     | 2,227 views

    Does coming to Christ mean the end of suffering? Sorry, no it does not. To this, suffering, you were called. Christ suffered and left an example of suffering. We have great verses in 21-25 about what Christ’s death on the cross means. Christ suffered for you.

    It was one of those dramatic stories. The town ruffian named Big Joe became a Christian. After all the noses he had broken, black eyes he had given the meanest toughest man in town accepts Christ and becomes a changed man. Now instead of a violent temper he endured patiently, even under stress. ...read more

     | 1,282 views

    Jude exhorts us "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." A falure to clearly identify "the faith" has resulted in the proliferation of denominations and sects because divisions arose of opinions on matters of expediency.
