Today’s Message:  As we continue in 1 Peter, we are again instructed to live as strangers, here “aliens and strangers.”  We will explore what that means and how we can do it, and we’ll see a positive and negative side of this ‘coin’.  Peter gives practical advice and keeps it simple, though living right and rejecting sinful living is not always simple.  We need to learn to trust God in everything and let His light shine through us so others will see Christ in us and turn to Him.

Today’s Message:  As we continue studying 1 Peter, we come to an unusual command, “live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. Today we will explore what that means and how we can do it, and we’ll follow Peters emphasis on the ‘word of the Lord’ and his reasoning that we are living stones and ‘a Chosen People’, wonderful guidance for how we live as we follow Jesus.

Today’s Message:  Do you know what it is to be holy?  Do you know how to do it?  Peter helps us with straightforward help with that, five commands, imperatives like ‘you must…’  1.  Be mentally prepared. 2. Be self controlled. 3. Be hopeful. 4. Be obedient. 5. Be holy.  Sounds simple, but like much of Scripture, doing it is not as easy as it first appears.  We’ll look into How to live for Christ.

Today’s Message:  Most of us know something about hope, we all hope for or against things.  Today we will start a study on Peter’s first letter and especially dive into what Peter meant by “Living Hope”.  We’ll explore the original context and modern application especially in willingness to suffer for speaking truth.  We’ll see Living Hope comes from and is in our Living Lord Jesus Christ!

Today’s Message:  Resurrection Day (AKA Easter) is coming soon, and today is Palm Sunday.  We’ll learn about Date Palms, the likely source of their palm leaves that day and more importantly what the palm leaves signified – triumph and victory of King Jesus!  Jesus fulfilled prophecy and displayed messianic humility riding a young colt. “Hosanna” originally was a prayer asking for God to save us, and He did powerfully that next Friday and Sunday!

Today’s Message: Resurrection Day (AKA Easter) is coming, as we anticipate it we will again look at some of the benefits of it for us today. We’ll ‘decode’ Revelation a bit and see John encouraging believers facing trouble and persecution near the end of the 1st century. This text raises lots of questions, and we will see, with the early church, that we are cleaned, saved, protected, led, and comforted, so in response we will worship the God who does this for His people!
