This passage of Scripture shows us a situation that the old farmers used to have a saying for. They would have said, “The Lord had ‘cleaned their plow,’ ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,665 views

    There are many people in the world today who have suffered greatly for no other reason than that they were followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul said that,"in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). But yet there is ...read more

    Raised From Death Unto Life

     | 3,200 views

    Peter knew the church faced much persecution in the first century. As they continued to endure adversity, he pointed them to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Persecution might continue, but they had been raised from death unto life in Christ.

    Raised from Death unto Life 1 Peter 4: 1-6 Peter set the tone for the message he sought to convey as he introduced himself to the reader. He addressed them as strangers scattered throughout the Roman provinces. This served two basic principles – 1) Peter revealed to the believers that he was aware ...read more
