You ever been in a argument when you realized you misheard the other person? Or realized you saw an event inaccurate after hindsight kicked in? The 1st followers of Jesus were so caught up in a certain idea of what Jesus would be like, that it took time to see Him and His mission clearly. His Love is the kind that would sacrifice anything for us.

How bored are you in the pandemic? On the flip side, when were you most excited and captured in wonder? The presence of Christ invites us to awe and wonder if we'll let it.

We ask questions everyday. Jesus used questions as one of His main modes of teaching. With questions Jesus reveals what we think about Him. The ultimate question you answer in life is "who do you say Jesus is?"

What is your deepest desire and longing? As humans we crave to feel content and satisfied, especially when our physical bodies are hurting. Christ comes to bring about the healing we most need.

Where do you keep your keys when you go home? Where do you store the pasta noodles? Everything in life has a place. The Gospel writer Mark encourages us to keep Christ as His rightful place as King in our lives.

It takes a nanosecond to slip between humility to pride. Peter encourages followers of Christ to continue to remain humble as they lead, learn, and stand strong in the face of problems. Staying humble lets you care for others and be cared for by God Himself.

While you may not experience suffering for your faith, hearing of those who did can inspire Christians in their own journey with God. The sacrifices you may have to make to follow Jesus are not just worth it in the future, but help make the world now a better place. Join us as we see why Peter encouraged Christians to be glad in their suffering!

Peter's framework is since Christ set the example of being willing to suffer, we are too as well, and sometimes in the midst of relationships. We may want to control relationships but we never will. God offers us something better, influencing. The overall goal of this suffering is twofold: please God and witness to others.

Ever tried harder to just fix yourself? Smoothen the rough edges, eliminate the bad habits? The Scripture calls us to a different approach in order how we build our lives and change.
