“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
So often in history one man played a pivotal role in events. We examine both the positive and the negative examples in scripture and end with an encouragement for us to draw near to God, so that we can be that one man or woman to play a positive pivotal role in times of need or crisis.
One of the central points that was emphasized repeatedly by the apostles as they preached the gospel message was the resurrection of Jesus Christ – their message pointed people to a LIVING Savior.
Today I want to emphasize the positive reasons why I observe God’s Holy days, and see if you can agree.
Hopefully, they can teach us a lesson that will help us succeed in our Christian walk.
In Luke 12:1, Christ specifically addressed the “Leaven of the Pharisees.” We’ll examine the two fold aspect of this instruction to His disciples. What Christ addressed is every bit as relevant today as it was back then.
We will focus on the scriptures that speak about Christ’s suffering, sacrifice, and death of Jesus Christ, and why He did what He did?

The ancient world had seven “wonders” which were documented by Greek explorers in the 2nd century B.C. They noted some of the incredible architecture that had been erected by the civilizations of the day. There was a far greater wonder in the ancient world than these seven wonders noted by the Greek historians–the time when Jesus Christ gave his life for the world on the Passover.
In today’s hypocritical society, an empty appearance of virtue and righteousness is equated with actual virtue and righteousness. This empty appearance is referred to as “virtue signaling” which allows convenient vacuous words and slogans to reflect virtue and righteousness instead of the actual actions which are virtuous and righteous. Our Heavenly Father requires virtuous and righteous actions and not just convenient passive words in our daily lives. Are you virtue signaling in your spiritual life?
Scripture speaks of the Mind and the Heart. The Word that became Jesus Christ is the great Communicator. What can we learn from His example during His earthly ministry in our communication as God’s children?
