TOUGH STUFF: Divorce
Divorce is like an amputation. Part of you is missing and it hurts. In fact, the cure can be worse than the disease. God intended divorce to be rare. Hear Jesus’ words that explain why.
TOUGH STUFF: Repentance
Repentance is synonymous with following Jesus. We understand the need to confess wrong, but what does this mean for your relationship with God?
TOUGH STUFF: Forgiveness
How can you forgive someone who has betrayed your trust so much that your very soul feels scarred?
TOUGH STUFF: Assurance, Real and Phony
People are really confused about their own assurance, the assurance of their children and others who call themselves Christians. How can we know for certain we are saved and how do we help others we love?
IN HIS STEPS: The Pattern of Suffering to Follow (Part 2)
Every time there was another form of persecution for Jesus–every time there was another suffering, another difficult event, no matter what, every single time, He would entrust Himself. And He kept on putting His life in the hands of the One who will judge rightly. He is the pattern for us to follow.
Kari
Raised in a Christian home, Kari came to know Jesus while on a missions trip to Ireland. The lifestyle of Christians there convicted her and caused her to trust Him personally.
IN HIS STEPS: The Pattern of Suffering to Follow (1 Pet 2:21-25)
This passage is a powerful reminder of the suffering of Christ for us and God’s expectation that we would suffer just like Jesus. Prepare for your heart to be affected as we talk about the Savior who suffered and died for us.
IN HIS STEPS: Following Christ will be Painful (1 Pet 2:21)
It will cost you more than you know to follow Jesus. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
Enduring Unjust Difficulty Pleases God (1 Pet 2:18-20)
Submission is a heart revealer. It can show what kind of heart you have. It may indicate that your heart has not been born again. Or it may expose areas that need to be brought under the Word of God by the Spirit of God and that process can be DIFFICULT and PAINFUL. But make no mistake, Submission is God’s Will. Christ submits to the Father – and we are to be like Christ and submit to God’s appointed authorities.
Mark
Though long in the church, Mark was convicted by his hypocrisy, repented and turned to Christ. Now Mark remains in awe over God’s grace in his life.
What to do when Government is Unfair, part two (1 Pet 2:13-17)
This week, we look again at the passage, in more depth, to learn what to do when your government is unfair and acting contrary to what you believe is right.
What to do when Government is Unfair (1 Pet 2:13-17) Part 1
How do you react when you are treated unfairly – when you are in the RIGHT, but the other is in the WRONG? How should Christians react when a boss, a teacher, an employer, a parent, an elder or your government is in the wrong and they are in the right? Peter tells us what to do when authority is in the WRONG.
