     | 9,481 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

    Despite Persecution, we are called to live as Christians in a corrupt world. Peter tells us to maintain Christian conduct, to live wisely (with common sense), and to fear God instead of man.

    Text: 1 Peter 3:8-14 8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a ...read more

    In the graves Jesus preaches.

    Jesus is crucified Friday, on a cross and buried by Joseph of Arimathaea (Matthew 27:57-60; Mark 15:45-46; Luke 23:50-53 and John 19:38). All four Gospel writers agree that it is Joseph of Arimathaea who buries Jesus. We have no doubt that Jesus is in the grave, but what is he doing? Is he ...read more

    How do we live in an unjust world?

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

    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
