[1 Peter 4:11] How is God glorified? Through Jesus Christ. This truth is written over our lives now and God sees us and everything we do through His son, our great propitiation and atoning sacrifice, our savior, Lord, and example. May our hearts overflow with the same outbursts of praise as Peter and Paul do in their letters to the church.…

[1 Peter 4:11] Tracing God’s glory as a theme through all the scriptures shows us clearly how jealous God is for the glory of His own name. God values more than anything else to display His glory. Is it God or you who is at the center of your heart and thoughts? How does God get all glory from our lives? God must always be the giver and we must alw…

[1 Peter 4:11] God gives speakers to the church, who are to keep in mind that they speak the very utterances of God--words from the mouth of God. Have you considered that these "sacred writings" are the very words of God, able to make you wise for salvation and equip you for every good work?

[1 Peter 4:10] Serve one another with the gift you’ve been given by God's grace. Love fuels service to fulfills perceived needs within the body. The Christian life is to be one of selflessness as stewards with differing abilities. This is not optional-Jesus will hold us accountable.

[1 Peter 4:10] God employed the people of Israel, putting skill in their hearts to complete His work when it came to building the tabernacle and He does the same today for believers in the temple of the new covenant-the church-as we build one another up to maturity in the unity of our Lord Jesus Christ.…

[1 Peter 4:8] In this third sermon focusing on this passage, we narrow in on the priority of love, "above all" in Peter's mind. Healthy churches forbear and deal with sin in love.
