In the last sermon, 1 Peter 5:1-4, he was dealing with the Elders of the church. Today we call Elders, Pastors, Ministers, or Preachers.

But notice, after he addresses the Elders in verses 1-4, he immediately addresses two other groups: (1) THE YOUTH Look at verse 5, we read, “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (16 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23. We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more

In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and most ALL of them claim to base their doctrines on the Word of God. This is IMPOSSIBLE!

These cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. They all claim to be the Word of God, but they differ in their translations of the scriptures. So how can they all be the Word of God? Also, we cannot possibly believe ...read more

Most Bible preachers do not like to select just one verse of scripture and preach on it.

Why? There are several reasons. (1) Often when preachers select one verse they will take it out of context. That is, in order to properly interpret scriptures we need to know: • What comes before the verse • What comes after the verse • Why it was written • To whom it was written These are ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (19 Of 20)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In this passage, Peter continues to deal with the opposition that faced Christians, and that still faces us today.

Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the fellow that went to the doctor. The doctor examined him closely, and told the patient, "I have some bad news and also some real bad news to tell you.

A new bride went to the grocery store to do her weekly shopping. She was a novice at this, but was delighted to be a new wife.

She did not want the store manager to know she had recently got married, because he might comment on her youth and inexperience. She said, "These eggs are awfully small." The store manager said, "Yes, I know, but that's the kind the farmer brings me. They are fresh from the ...read more

Your Superpower - 2 Peter 1:3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

It’s always a fun question to ask, “If you could have one superpower, what would you want it to be?” But the far more important question is this: “What would you do with it?” If God gave you unlimited access to divine power for the next 30 days, how would you use it?

Look at the first three words of 2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power …." That’s an awesome set of words—His divine power. They’re awesome words and their intriguing words, because so much of the frustration of life comes from not having the power we need. Wherever there’s failure in your ...read more

Hope In God! - 1 Peter 1:13 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 29, 2024

Hope is when you turn your attention from some small bad news to some big good news. It is central to the Christian life and it is a Christian duty (with grace comes responsibility). But it is hard to do.

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be ...read more
