    11. Message In 1 Peter – Number 11 – Closing The Letter With A Fond Farewell (1 Peter 5:12-14) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 87 views

    Farewell until we meet again. Today we think about the closing remarks in Peter’s first letter as we open up the final three verses. The end of a letter usually states the last important thoughts of the writer he wishes to convey to the readers. We look at that. May God bless us all.

    11. Message in 1 Peter – Number 11 – CLOSING THE LETTER WITH A FOND FAREWELL (1 Peter 5:12-14) [A]. AND A FOND FAREWELL It is sometimes claimed that a person’s last words are their most significant.

    Exodus 19 - Fear God But Draw Near With Holy Boldness! How Does That Work? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,841 views

    What I love is that we are not told to stand back from God. We are not told not to go too close. Unlike the people of Israel, we are told to be like Moses and to draw near to God.

    Exodus 19 - Holy Boldness! I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much ...read more

    It is human nature for us to become closed, introverted, and selfish — even in our prayer lives. God demands that our prayers extend way beyond ourselves to incorporate all sorts of people.

    Unlimited Prayer Based Upon Unlimited Atonement (I Timothy 2:1-7) 1. One fellow defended himself form criticism, “Some people say I am a snob, but this is not true. Although my butler can be a snob at times.” 2. Does being rich automatically make one a snob? Certainly not. Does ...read more

    God wants us to spend time with him. But do we want to spend time with him? How can we? why should we? Do we come to God on his terms or ours?

    I once told a friend that all I wanted was to be happy in God’s presence. And I guess what I’m saying this morning is as a result of the reply I received. Because I was reminded, that I shouldn’t seek God for my own happiness, I should seek him for himself. Seeking God for himself. (But what ...read more

     | 4,640 views

    God is calling us to leave the B.C. life and live the A.D. life. Life without God is no life at all! His plan for us is to come alive in Christ Jesus and get close to Him.

    Living the A.D. Life Ephesians 2:1-10 Intro: In Eph. 1 we talked about the benefits of being in Christ. Today we will see that this theme continues through chapter 2 as well. We weren’t always in Christ. In fact, the only way a person can be in Christ is to call on Him in faith, believing that ...read more
