1 Peter 2: 1-3 2 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Sermons on 1 Peter (Page 3)
Our faith has a goal, our eternal salvation: 1 Peter 1:9 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. Philippians 2:12-13 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in…
1 Peter 2:21-25 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22 “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who…
Revelation 2:10 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Continuing on what makes strong congregations, as we consider 1st Peter 5, there are two basic exhortations that Peter makes: Peter exhorts the Elders of the Lord’s church Peter exhorts Christians This teaching we will focus on exhorting Christians in 1st Peter 5 verses 5 and following. 1 Peter 5 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all…
As we consider God’s Word in 1st Peter 5, we see that to have strong congregations requires, 1. A strong commitment to God’s Word, and 2. Strong leadership. We have previously covered 1 Peter 5:1-4, where Peter exhorts the elders of the church. 1 Peter 5:1-4 1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and…
We are in a spiritual warfare, it is real, and it will continue to go on for as long as this earth exists. It is a fight between righteousness and unrighteousness, between that which is good and that which is wrong, between that which is holy and that which is unholy. If you are a Christian, then you are at war with…
1 Peter 4:12-19 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of…
Our purpose is to live out the rest of our life, shunning sin, doing the will of God, not being afraid of what the world might do to us. 1 Peter 4:1-6 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he…
Since a person’s character is shaped by their thoughts, we understand that to build Christian character we must apply Philippians 4:8 and learn to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. True: God’s ways are just and true (Revelation 15:3). We need to learn to meditate more upon the truth of God’s word…
