    Peter’s first letter was probably written some time before this terrible persecution. At the time of Peter’s writing, Christians was being slandered and mistreated in isolated places throughout modern day Turkey. He did not live in a “Christian nation.”

    The issue of pain and suffering is much known. Yet, we struggle to make sense of it or react to it the right way. Let us learn from Peter on how not to, and how to, address this issue.

    Learnings from Peter : Rewards and Suffering Past 15 or so months have been a series of struggles for many of us.

    "Our Identity In Christ (V): We Are Servants Of God”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 8,438 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fifth/last sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    We have learned our four identities in Christ. Today I will share the fifth and the last one, which is we are servants of God. Many Christians think servants of God are Christians who receive special calls from God to carry certain missions whether to be missionaries, pastors, or teachers. Is that ...read more

    We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

    Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more

     | 2,190 views

    When you see yourself as an alien and an exile with your citizenship in heaven, and God as your only Sovereign, you stop drifting with the current of the day. You ponder what is good for the soul and what honors God in everything.

    When is something worth nothing? Zimbabwe’s central bank will introduce a $50 billion note -- enough to buy just two loaves of bread – as a way of fighting cash shortages amid spiraling inflation.

    You are citizens of two orders, two systems. This world with its necessary institutions, and the order of the kingdom of God with its necessary values. This is not because the two orders have equal authority, but because God is the ruler and owner of both.

    We’re traveling through the book of 1 Peter. Peter’s two letters are a mere 166 verses. Nonetheless, they are packed with keen wisdom from a seasoned pastor about how to live amidst life’s trials. In this short little letter, Peter encourages the churches in now modern day Turkey to stand fast ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    Living Under Authority Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 2, 2022
     | 4,050 views

    We see the governing mandate, its mission and its means. Human authorities are used by God to achieve His sovereign purposes. We submit to Him and live as good citizens.

    I am not sure if you noticed this, we are always living under some kind of authority in life. • As children, we live under the authority of our parents. In schools, our teachers. At work, our superiors. In church, pastors and leaders. As citizens, our government. • None of these authorities is ...read more

     | 1,947 views

    Lost people often use our failure to live as we ought to justify their rejection of Christ. While we cannot excuse them, we must know that we do offend. Therefore, we require grace to honour God and to avoid giving offence to the lost.

    “Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.” ...read more

    What can Peter teach us about how to live the Christian life when the government persecutes us?

    The Christian and Governmental Authority 1 Peter 2:13-17 Introduction In the USA, where I live, there is no more odious word in the English language than “submission.” No one here wants to submit. They don’t want to submit to government. They don’t want to submit to their boss. Women don’t want ...read more

    This sermon examines three words used in the New Testament as designations of followers of Christ and how they define the believer even today.

    HOLY ONES. BROTHERS. SERVANTS. - WORDS THAT DEFINE US It’s not unusual for a group of people who share somethings in common to be given some designation.
