    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.

    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

    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.

    The purpose in gathering together this morning is to worship God, who eternally exists in Three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit!

    How do we live in an unjust world?

    Introduction Peter’s epistle begins in such a nice way.

Obey ...read more

    We are NOT called to defend THE faith, but rather to stand up for OUR faith.

    Defenders of the Faith? One of the most frequently misapplied verses in the Bible is I Peter 3:15-17. It is often taken out of context and used to prompt believers into being defenders of the faith! It says, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,155 views

    A response to claims that "evidence" that Jesus was married is “apt to send jolts through the world of biblical scholarship - and beyond.”

    Was Jesus Married? “Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” 1 Timothy 4:7 “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15 Popular characters tend to be used, ...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.

    The Hope In You

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008

    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?

    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

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more
