1 Peter 3:18-4:6 Good morning church! We are going to resume our study in 1 Peter chapter 3 this morning. We left off on the 17th verse which says, 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. Yes sadly, the idea is that as Christians we may still suffer…

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? We live in a world of things....

Hebrews 1:4-14 As we continue into Hebrews, we began last week by seeing that the author of Hebrews shows us how Jesus is better than the prophets. He is God’s perfect revelation to us.

Does scripture support a tri-nature part of humanity? Looking at how we are created, in the image and likeness of God…makes one ponder does that mean we also have a tri-nature like God?

The Good News Of Kingdom Values Alright, this morning we are going to look at the good news of kingdom values. And we are going to do that by looking 2 parables sandwiched around a challenge by Jesus to the pharisees. The first parable we are going to look at is confusing without context. But that’s…
