Prone To Wander
Many of us have idols. We just don’t realize it. Ask yourself…
Where do I spend my time?
How do I use my talents?
Where do I spend my money?
What occupies my mind?
Where do I find my joy?
Be Humbled. Be On Guard. Trust The Process.
Peter’s life was radically changed by Jesus Christ.
All of Peter’s letter should be looked at under the lens of the sovereignty of God, especially 1 Peter 5:6-11.
The God of all grace is sovereign over salvation, suffering, life, death, and everything in between.
Peter exhorts the older in faith to shepherd the younger ones in the flock.
God rewards those who shepherd others in accordance with His will.
Younger Christians ought to submit to the wisdom of their elders.
Humility is not natural. We have to put it on.
Pride leaves no room for grace.
Allowing worry to captivate you is a form of submitting to pride.
Humility is a gift to be applied under the sovereignty of God’s mighty hand.
Be humbled.
Be on guard.
Trust the process.
Wisdom Contends for the Faith
The 6 wise practices from Jude for contending for the faith:
– Keep watch for perversions of the true Gospel.
– Remember the teachings and predictions of the Apostles. o Build up your faith.
– Pray in the Spirit.
– Keep in the love of God.
Have mercy on those who doubt and share your faith.
There are no neutral relationships.
From Groaning to Glory
Dwell in the Word of God. Breathe it in.
We need to be saved.
Salvation is through Jesus Christ.
Salvation brings freedom.
– Freedom from the wrath of God.
– Freedom from sin.Freedom from the law.
– Freedom from death.
We live in the already and not yet of the Kingdom of God. We are already in His glory, but not yet in the fullness of glory.
Dwell in the Word of God.
God Speaks To You
God is speaking to you.
He wants you to know that you are loved.
It’s not just some kind of superficial love that is here today and gone tomorrow.
He loves you with the deepest love that endures through everything.
