    Last of 5 messages on 1 Peter 1 & 2. This message is focused on who Jesus is and on who we are. The natural outgrowth of this understanding is the "telling" of the gospel and the "doing" of good.

    I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

    I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children. That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more
