    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
     | 2 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.

    Many people have expectations of what God can do for them. But that's not how it works. We were saved to do things for Him. Why?

    I’ve been told that when people come to God –– they have certain expectations. They have certain opinions of what they think God should DO for them. They visualize a God who is going to do what they want done. ILLUS: A woman named Donna had a conversation with her 4 year old niece. The little ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 18,415 views

    There was no room to be found for Mary and Joseph to stay in Bethlehem? Seriously? You'd think someone would have taken pity on a VERY pregnant woman that day, but no one did. Why not?

    Several years ago, a church held a Christmas pageant with a group of 4 year-olds. Everything went along pretty well until Mary and Joseph “arrived” at the inn. The 4 year-old Joseph asked: “Do you have any room for us?”. “No,” replied the innkeeper, “the inn is full.” “But it’s so cold outside, ...read more

    The difference between the world and God is very harsh when it come to children. God considers them precious, while the world often considers them expendable. What is God's attitude toward abortion and what can we do for those who struggle with that decision?

    The passage I read this morning is intriguing. The story is recorded here in Luke as well as in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark.

    Joshua heard the commotion in the camp and thought it was the "noise of war". He was partly right and partly wrong. Do you know what Israel was doing and why... and do you understand why God and Moses were so furious with the people?
