    How are we to approach the task of making Christ known? Peter suggests this should be done through Revelation, proclamation, and demonstration.

    MAKING CHRIST KNOWN 1 Peter 2:9-12 INTRO: The population of our world is growing at an alarming rate. Statisticians tell us that by the year A.D. 2050 the population of the world will be 14 billion, or more than twice its present size.

    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more

    The word “gospel” means good news. We know the heart of the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, but what exactly is the good news about that?
