Priests Are Not To Be Confounded

Live Up To Your Calling

The Christian Life is very real. When the sinner trusts Jesus as his Saviour then he is a new creation and he ought to live like a new person. Salvation is given freely but spiritual growth takes effort by the believer. Therefore, this message, Live Up to Your Calling.

The Sinfulness of Unbelief and the Cure

Unbelief among “believers” is sadly too common. They trust God with their eternal soul but they fail to trust Him for today. God helps believers strengthen their faith by giving them trials in life. They are to take in the “milk of the word” and to apply themselves to practice what they have learned!

Failing the Trying of Your Faith!

Believers are to “lay aside” sinful behavior and be holy. It is important to remember the context of the passage is that these believers are having their faith in God tried. Apparently, some of these believers that Peter wrote to were failing the trial of their faith. Let us learn so that we will not fail in our faith in God.

Flesh is as Grass and God’s Word Endures Forever

Herein is the reality of this world, it is all going to pass. Peter has just established the glory of the born again person and then he follows it with the sobering reality of this life that all flesh withers. All men will one day cease from this earth for they are as grass. So it is that spirituality lives forever hence this must be the focus of the saved man and not the things of this earth.

Love and Unity Among the Brethren

Unity with love is always important in the Christian life but much more in times of trials as these believers are experiencing. The fellowship of believers must be a place of refuge and comfort. Unity begins with genuine love.

Sojourn in Fear

A key to holy living is to fear God. This is not a fear of terror. Rather it is a fear based on respect for God and Who He is.

Don’t Be Like the World

Believers bring their old thinking and behavior into their Christian life. Like a child they need to be taught what is right and wrong. Believers are not to fashion themselves like the world. The unsaved are children of disobedience hence they have sinful lifestyles for they have no spiritual understanding. Therefore, believers are to behave differently from the unsaved.

As Obedient Children

Believers are to be obedient to the Word of God. The idea that a person trusted Christ many years ago does not mean that that person is spiritually mature. Many Christians have not grown, and they are still spiritual babies after many years because they have not learned to obey authority and the Word of God

Wherefore, Gird Up, Be Sober and Hope!

Here Peter changes from giving Bible truths to application. In other words, based on the things just presented certain things are to move people. As animals are expected to move by a goad so are believers expected to move by the “goads” of scripture truths.

Salvation Was, Is and Ever Shall be By Grace

We must remember that when Peter wrote this letter they were in a time of transition from the Law to the Church. In this message we see that Peter was reinforcing the truth that God’s plan of salvation has not changed. Salvation was, is and ever shall be by grace.

Love, Believe and Rejoice

Sometime believers do not think that God is caring for them in their daily living. They are worried about life. They do not rejoice in life, rather they are discouraged. Peter is encouraging believers in this letter as they suffer. Rather than a stern rebuke Peter is gently reminding them of how they should be.

The Trying of Your Faith

Herein is a fundamental truth for all believers to understand. God tries our very faith in Him. That trying is not pleasant at times but the blessings that come from trusting God are wonderful.

Trials and Their Perfect Work

An overwhelming theme in 1st Peter is the reality of trials in the Christian Life. Peter encourages believers to realize and accept that God works in our trials and in those trials are blessings from God.

Proper Thinking For Proper Behavior

Peter is addressing believers that are scattered. They are suffering and Peter is moved by the Holy Spirit to write words of comfort to them and to believers throughout the years. Peter admonishes all believers to remember the truths of God and to dwell on them rather than on their problems.

Well, Well, Well

This message looks at a time in the life of Isaac. He lied about his wife, and he was opposed by the Philistines. They stopped his wells and he had to move to find water. It seems that Isaac was weak but Abimelech, the King of the Philistines declared “thou art much mightier than we.” (Genesis 26:16) Therefore, this message considers this mighty man of God.

Life Changing Hope

Peter was called by God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He was better prepared to serve after being sifted as wheat by the devil. No longer did he care to strive over who of the disciples should be accounted the greatest. Through it all Peter went on to strengthen the brethren because his faith failed not.

Sifted As Wheat

This message continues the introduction to 1st Peter. Peter was the impetuous disciple. To be useful to God he had to change. The problem was that Peter thought he was quite spiritual just the way he was. But God saw differently. In these verses Jesus tells Peter of the coming trials that will make him useful to God.

Suffering and Submission

Peter is writing to scattered believers. They fled to Asia Minor and there they found new challenges in life. So it is that life does have its problems but with the Lord those trials have purpose and by God’s grace we can endure and live a victorious life that is pleasing to God.

Wrestling With God

Here we have a wrestling match between Jacob and God. God had plans for Jacob, but he had a spirit that had to be broken, thus the wrestling match. In that wrestling match Jacob’s thigh was put out of joint. Therein Jacob was more useful to God with a limp that he was without a limp.

Cain and Abel

We can learn much from these famous people in the scriptures. They both knew to sacrifice to God, but they differed in their offering. Abel offered from the flock but Cain from the fruit of the ground. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not accepted. Only a sacrifice of blood could cover their sin. This is still true today. Faith in the shed blood of Jesus for salvation is the only acceptable way to eternal life.

Not By Chance

In this message we see the deceptive behavior of King Ahab to save his life in battle. Rather than accept God as the true god he schemed to save his life. But his deceptions failed, and he was fatally wounded by a random arrow shot into the chaos of battle. God is surely in control of this world.

The Majority Was Wrong

King Jehoshaphat unites with King Ahab against Syria. The 400 prophets of Baal tell them of sure victory but Micaiah declared the word of the Lord that they will lose the battle and King Ahab will die. Thus, Micaiah was the only one who stood for truth and The Majority was Wrong.

All For A Vineyard

This is the sad story of King Ahab who wanted another man’s vineyard. The palace and the rule over 10 tribes was not enough for him. He just had to have that vineyard so much so that the owner was killed so that the king could have his vineyard.

Syria’s First Campaign Against Israel

The work of God through Elijah is still fresh in the events of Israel. Now God moves this great army against King Ahab and the Northern Kingdom. The purpose is to get Ahab to realize that Jehovah is God! We would think that would have been settled by the fire from heaven but not so. So, God continues his pursuit of Ahab to humble himself to a right relationship with Him.
