To him be the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

(1 Peter 4:11) 

“Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of al-ways expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants in-stead of being tyrannized by what you want. 

You’ve already put in your time in that God-ignorant way of life, partying night after night, a drunken and profligate life. Now it’s time to be done with it for good. Of course, your old friends don’t understand why you don’t join in with the old gang anymore. But you don’t have to give an account to them. They’re the ones who will be called on the carpet—and before God himself. 

Listen to the Message. It was preached to those believers who are now dead, and yet even though they died (just as all people must), they will still get in on the life that God has given in Jesus.” 

1 Peter 4:8-16

"Jesus Christ has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him". - 1 Peter 3:22

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.(James 5:14-15)

"Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:12

You have been born again through the living and enduring word of God. (1 Peter 1:23)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Peter 1:3)
