In a previous message, we learned about WWJD - that we are actually called to suffer, like Jesus did. Learn more in this text about how we should act - even when others aren't kind. What are the attributes of a suffering Christian?

Contrary to pop culture, there really are gender differences, & according to Scripture, different roles for each gender - especially in the marriage relationship. Journey through the first part of 1st Peter 3, & learn from the Apostle we know was married. See for yourself what the Bible teaches about marriage in Peter's first letter.

This could have been entitled "The Biblical Answer to the question 'What Would Jesus Do?'" Learn from where that phrase came (popularized with bracelets & more in the 80's by a female youth leader who was never paid royalties), & see for yourself the Biblical answer in the context of being mishandled in the workplace environment. Warning: It's not what you might expect. However, it's so good to learn!

Two weeks prior some CKCC members who were not in the service that week tested positive for COVID-19. For everyone's safety we decided to not have physical in-person church services for a couple weeks. We broadcasted on an FM signal to people in their vehicles in the parking lot (as we do each week), & also had people join in on the service in a Zoom meeting. This was Resurrection Sunday, 2021.

How are we supposed to act when a president or governor seems to be the polar opposite of nearly all that we believe in? Listen to God's counsel through Peter's 1st letter to Christians in the 1st century who were actually persecuted by such leaders.

Journey through this part of the letters & see how selfishness & arrogance seriously disable our ability to live out authentic faith. There's so much more packed into these 12 verses.

Peter prepares us for further & more difficult admonition, but encourages & motivates us along the way. In this message, we peel back what it means for us to conduct ourselves as God wants - different than nonbelievers. Peter clearly understands the readers (1st century Christians & us) are struggling through life, so he guides us, accordingly.

Journeying through 1 Peter 1:3-12, Pastor Adams exposes practical truths, & introduces us to some extra-biblical characters whose lives are highly motivational. Gain insight as Peter begins his letter to encourage the discouraged.

"Authentic Living Today," is an original expository message series through Peter's Epistles by Pastor Jeff Adams. This is the first in the series. In it we're taken back in time & can so easily relate major historical events to what we are experiencing, today. Peter barely scratches the surface in revealing a glimpse of what's to come. Listen, learn, & be encouraged!

As many of us are unable to get put of our homes this Valentines Day, God has a timely message for us!
