First Peter Part 31 – 4:12-15

Our lesson today will take us into First Peter 4:12-15. In these verses Peter will address a little more deeply the subject of suffering, but his emphasis will be upon suffering for Jesus. We are told not to be surprised at the fiery trials that comes our way. One important point that the apostle makes about overcoming through our suffering is to have a heart that is filled with gratitude for the salvation Jesus has freely given us. We will close the podcast by applying Peter’s practical teaching that all true followers of Jesus should never be guilty of murder, theft, gossip or any kind criminal activity.

Today we conclude this study by bringing some practical application from what we have learned. Next week we will begin a new teaching series.

The Radical Jesus Part 14

We are beginning a new section in our continuing study of The Radical Jesus that deals with the radical nature of surrender. It is a reality from which we cannot escape that if we want to be true followers of Jesus then we must learn to live the surrendered life. The only person that lived a life of perfect surrender to the Heavenly Father was Jesus. As a result, He is the perfect role model that we are to imitate. As you will soon see in this section on radical surrender that there is great joy, power and victory found when we live a life of surrender to Jesus. Put this lesson into practice and you will know that what I am saying is true.

Character and God’s Power Part 12

Obedience to God is the topic of today’s podcast. This is probably the largest subject in the Bible and is of greater importance than most people think. Without obedience to God and His Word people will not make heaven their home. But in our culture that glorifies rebellion we can be blind to the beauty and joy found in obedience. Not just that, for obedience to be real it must be loving. We cannot love selflessly unless we obey those we claim to love. Listen, learn and take to heart the powerful lesson you will hear today.

Character and God’s Power Part 2

In part 2 of our study on Character and God’s Power we will begin digging into the idea that our character is a reflection of our understanding of God. This is not something we commonly think about, but it is true nonetheless. Our moral and spiritual condition directly depends on whether we have a high or low view of God. We cannot rise above our knowledge of God. If we want to rise higher in the faith then we need to have a clearer grasp of the majesty of God. This study is sure to stir your soul and invigorate your mind.
