Next week and then privacy fence and then, you know, skyscraper and helicopter pad and we’ll keep going, you know, but just baby step one, the shit has gone. So um, welcome. I’m looking forward to. First peter if you all Today’s theme of Chapter five. It really doesn’t relate to anyone at all. It’s about leading through difficult times, leading through challenging times, leading through hardships. So I know this servant is for someone else today and this passage is for someone else today and no one has experienced anything like that in their life ever. But I propose to you all, you all are all leaders, your potential leaders, your current leaders, you lied at your home, your work, this church, your kids softball league, your your sewer thrower league, which isn’t playing today because the Memorial Day, um you’re you’re all leading at some capacity of influence, um ownership of a group of people that look to you, um you lead your family, your business, your church, all sorts of things.

Christians, christian church history, just history says that christians were kidnapped and thrown in a gladiator arena to be fought and killed by gladiators and um by soldiers. It’s like remember the movie Gladiator, the people that they were killing in that movie, we’re probably christians if history is correct, christian and secular history, christians are being severely oppressed and persecuted and they scattered and fleet throughout the major cities and then these smaller cities in the area of Turkey and and Peter wrote this letter to them to prepare them for what is coming, there’s persecution, there’s racial unrest, there’s war, there’s there’s pandemics happening at the time, There’s disease, famine. It is not a good time to be a christian. And Peter’s right into that culture in that context and he knows you and I know what happens in second Peter things get worse. Na…
