    When Jesus met Simon, he named him "Peter", or "Rock", even though Peter's character at that time was decidedly un-rocklike. But Jesus saw what he would become, just as he sees as, not only as we are but as what we will become in Him.

    The first thing we notice in these seven verses is the number of references to stones. Living stones. Precious stones. Corner stones. Stones that are chosen by God but rejected by men. A stone that causes people to stumble and fall. Now, think about that for a moment. Why would that be? Why would ...read more

    According to the Scripture in 1 Peter, those who believe in Jesus Christ are now the priest of the New Testament. And what is the role left for the priesthood? To be channels of blessings.

    Our role as priest is to be a blessing. One of those places we are to be a blessing is in the local body of believers.

    Introduction If you were here last week, you know that the role of a priest is to be a channel of blessings to others. But there are somethings that can prevent us from being that Channel of Blessing. We saw those unconfessed sins, not asking to be a blessing, and not having the faith to believe ...read more

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...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.

    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.
