We have responsibilities in the context of our relationship with God and His church. Peter provides godly guidance for our responsibilities in the Lord's church.

They prepared food, but I had to eat. They provided education, but I had to continue learning. Bottom line is - I had ...read more

The Real Insurgency, Pt. 2 Series

Contributed by Jim Cunningham on Sep 2, 2006

Second in a series looking at spiritual warfare not on the basis of popular Christian views, but on biblical teaching.

Two weeks ago I started preaching on this passage, and I told you at the time that as I began to study though it, what I had intended to be a single sermon had grown into at least two. Now it looks like three. And frankly, we could spend many more weeks on the subject of spiritual warfare. As I ...read more

The Arithmetic Of The Christian Life

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 10, 2022

The first chapter of Second Peter provides guidance for Christian growth. The first half of the chapter discusses character qualities for Christians to develop in life.

This epistle was composed to caution against an inside assault, lack of concern and sin. Here Peter gives the antitoxin for dormancy and foolishness in the Christian life. These two ...read more

The Christian And His Learning, Trust And Goals

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

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

What Were You Thinking?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 8, 2016

Why didn’t Peter “snap” when he heard the rooster crow the first time? God gives us warnings, afterward we get consequences. Jesus' word always came to pass. Why didn't Peter get the hint? Do we?

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Mk. 14:27-31,66-72 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A duck walked into Burger King and walked up to the counter. The crabby assistant manager said, “Can I help you?” The duck said, “Yeah, you got any duck food?” “No we don’t. This is Burger ...read more

Members of both churches complained that the distillery was giving the community a bad image. And to make ...read more
