    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on May 15, 2021
     | 2,845 views

    Jesus is 1) Believers’ perfect standard for suffering (1 Peter 2:21-23), 2) their perfect substitute in suffering (1 Peter 2:24), and 3) became their perfect shepherd through suffering (1 Peter 2:25).

    1 Peter 2:21-25 [21] For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 18, 2021
     | 4,555 views

    In chapter 4, Peter urges Christians to be fiercely committed to fulfilling the purpose of our lives in Christ. Prior chapters made the case that we are a “holy people.” We have been rescued from meaningless lives and set apart from the world to be used for God’s purpose.

    And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? —1 Peter 4:18 Text: 1 Peter 4:1-19 (KJV) Living for God’s Glory 1Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh ...read more

  • Is God's Presence A Desirable Thing? (Exodus 20:21-26) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,083 views

    Exodus puts two pictures of God, back to back. In #1, God is glorious, and "big," and scary. In #2, God also offers to come and be present in worship. Is this offer something we should want?

    Christians often have negative attitudes about sacrifice in the OT. There's maybe four reasons for this: (1) We don't really understand sacrifice very well at all. It's foreign to us, and confusing. And I include myself in this. (2) We maybe know that the OT has a number of really ...read more

    Have you ever thought about how many people have been killed by God? How many Old and New Testament characters did something so egregiously sinful that the Almighty deemed it necessary to straightaway cause or allow the penalty of death to be invoked?

  • Is It Good To Not Touch A Woman? (1 Corinthians 7:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022
     | 1,736 views

    For most people, the answer is this: you should have a spouse, you should "have" your spouse, and your spouse should "have" you.

    Let's start today, by simply reading 1 Corinthians 7:1: (1) Now, concerning the things which you wrote, "[it is] good for a man, a woman/wife not to touch." [a woman/wife is focused in Greek]. This sentence is almost certainly a Corinthian slogan that Paul is quoting. Paul not ...read more

    Although Satan is generally viewed as evil, some groups have very different beliefs. In Theistic Satanism, Satan is considered to be worshiped or revered Deity. In LaVeyan Satanism, Satan is a symbol of virtuous characteristics and liberty

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 13, 2023
     | 1,119 views

    Ch. 14 gives three pictures, rooted in OT thought, of what God's wrath is like. All are (arguably) symbolic, but all are something to be avoided. An encouragement to be faithful, and endure suffering.

    Can you live however you want, once saved? (Revelation 14:1-20) One of the main themes in the book of Revelation that we've seen, especially in the last few weeks, is that the church will suffer on earth. Revelation has described this suffering using a number of different images, and symbols. ...read more
