“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”

How easily are you and I influenced or persuaded by what we see, by what we hear, and by what we read? Scriptural examples show how public opinion is swayed by perception, and how “reality” often is simply not so.
Over the years many who observe the Feast of Tabernacles have lost focus on why it is called “The Feast of the Lord.” They simply now call it “the Feast.” We’ll examine closely today from scripture why it IS important what we call it. We’ll also consider how we are to Rejoice before Him, and Learn to fear Him.
What was the meaning behind the words Christ spoke to His disciples in John 16:8-11? Let’s examine these verses and try to understand what Christ is saying here.
What’s Our Individual Responsibility in Spreading this Gospel of the Kingdom of God?
We are instructed to grow in grace in knowledge in scripture. However, there are also warnings in scripture about how our knowledge can puff us up, offend other brethren and even cause us to sin against God and Christ!
When we close our prayers to our Father in Heaven is it okay to call Christ “Our Friend”? We’ll examine scripture closely to see that we indeed can!
How do we handle adversity in our lives? Do we immediately think we are being punished by God? Let’s consider the example of Joseph and how he dealt with adversity.
The answer requires us to look at the bigger picture over the entire span of history.
What is the responsibility of those who are called in the church with respect to their teachers and the leadership? Are their teachers, ministers so much higher than them with respect to righteousness that they could never obtain that level? Should they remain in a position of submission to authority? We explore this question and discuss authority in the church and that in the body of Christ no one is “above” another in the way that Gentiles exercised authority over their subjects.
