Survival Skills for the Christian

01 28 I Peter Review In this message we close out looking at I Peter 1:15-16 as the “base camp” for the book.  In every life situation there is a call to holy living.  This is the challenge for the Christian until Christ returns – we are to be holy because He is holy.

Amazing God – Amazing Grace

01 14 I Peter 5:10-11 Peter closes out this letter with some final words of encouragement.  God’s amazing grace is sufficient for all our times of suffering.  What ever you are going through, whenever you are going through it, His grace will keep you.  All that’s happening is only temporary, it won’t last, but we know that the glory to come that is ours through Christ will be eternal – and there will be no more suffering.

Trust or Trauma

12 31 I Peter 5:7 What do you worry about?  Our passage exhorts us to cast every anxiety we have onto the Lord because He cares for us.  What a great promise!  But the casting really begins in the previous verse where we are told to humble ourselves before God’s mighty hand.  We cannot cast until and only after we have humbled ourselves.  Then give them all to the Lord remembering that He cares about you.
