Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

The Bible serves as our portal through time.

It not only tells us about the past (which isn’t that hard), but it also tells us about the future—all the way to the end. Even better? It tells us why it matters. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at 1 Peter 4 where Peter tells us that the end is near—and what we can do before Jesus comes.

You want a victorious Christian life.

But it ain't easy. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at the tools God has provided us to have a victorious Christian life. It begins in a very personal place: your mind.

The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 4 how to arm ourselves with a mindset of victory—and then how to use that weapon for victory.

The good life. What is it?

The world looks at external stuff like money, fun, and health as the good life. But what about the inside stuff—what about our purpose?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look in 1 Peter 3 about what makes life truly good—in spite of the bad all around us.

Mind a spoiler? It’s actually a focus on hope.

When life seems unfair, it’s tough.

When marriage seems unfair, it’s unbearable.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we see one of the best examples of what to do when trying to live the Bible cuts against the grain of our culture. The Apostle Peter gets close to home (literally) in 1 Peter 3.

If your marriage feels unfair, God has not left you alone.

You have situations this week that feel unfair. You’re not alone.

Jesus felt it too.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we'll see in 1 Peter 2 the encouraging example of Jesus. How can we deal with unfairness—including bad authority, unfair decisions, and even harsh words and actions?

Jesus’ example and Peter’s words give us practical steps for this much-needed challenge.

Cotton candy compares to most loves these days. Sweet but short.

But how wonderful to love what lasts! (And is far sweeter.)

In this episode of Live the Bible, we discover the only two things that last forever. The Apostle Peter gives us some practical encouragement in 1 Peter 1–2 to look beyond loving the temporary things—and to love what lasts.

Better still, he shows us how to do it.

We could sum up most sermons in two words: “Be good.”

But why should we be good?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we get the good-news answer to that question. The Apostle Peter knew firsthand the struggle of walking faithfully with Christ, and he shares God's strategy to help us to have victory each day.

It begins with our why—our motive.

God offers us genuine joy in the midst of our struggles. 

How do we find that joy?

Joy is part of the Christian life. Don't miss God's gift to you.

Jesus is looking for fruit.

No, not apples and oranges— but fruit in our lives. In fact, He wants to find 3 kinds of fruit in your life.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we see the Triumphal Entry of Jesus as He begins the Passion Week. As Christians, bearing fruit for God is essential. Jesus shows us how. 

Each of these 3 kinds of fruit are related to each other, and the good news is, when Jesus looks in our lives, He brings His grace along. The Lord is not looking to curse you. He is looking to find fruit.

God can work through you.

In fact, He already is.
