“Lively Stones” • 1st Peter 2:1-10 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

Do you know your purpose in life? The Bible makes it clear to us that the child of God’s purpose is to build his life upon Jesus Christ. Further, we are to realize that we are the temple of God in His spriitual kingdom here on earth. It  is our duty to join with other lively stones and be the center of praise to our reigning King.

”Woe unto Them~” • Isiah 5  - Brother Jonah Lowrance

God greatly delivered Israel from bondage in Egypt but they forgot that deliverance and lived like the people whom God had driven out before them. We are in danger of doing the same thing when we forget how gracious God is to us and we make excuses for our behavior. This is calling evil good and good evil.

“Newborn Babes” • 1st Peter 2:1-3 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

Seeing that we have been born again by the essential Word Jesus Christ, we should desire to learn more and more about our Savior from the written word, the Bible.

”Love Like Jesus” • 1st Peter 1:22-25 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

Peter’s grand conclusion of how we should live our lies as resident aliens in this fallen world is to love like Jesus loves. Seeing that we are born again by the Word which is Jesus, we have been given the ability and desire to love others with a pure heart.

"Where is Your Faith and Hope?" • 1st Peter 1:17-21 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

Seeing that we are already redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, we should consider our lives precious to God, and live in the promise that we are in God's sovereign hands. Therefore, we can have purpose in our lives. We are to live FOR God because we will be with Him forever. Our faith and hope is not in our feeble efforts. Our faith and hope should rest in God.

"God's Plan" • Isaiah 2 - Brother Jonah Lowrance

While Judah would be taken captive because of disobedience, God encourages them to repentance and to take heart because He will not forsake His people. Isaiah's vision of the kingdom of God showed the full timeline of redemptive history. The last days encompass the first advent of Christ when He came and died for our sins. The work will be completed when Christ returns at the end of time. Then, all wars shall cease, and God's people will be redeemed to Him forever.

"How Do We Sojourn Here? • 1st Peter 1:17 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

God is our Father but He is not a pushover like some many fathers are portrayed on TV and in movies. He is still Holy and righteous, and He expects His children to act that way as well. God will judge against the works of the wicked at the end of time and punish them with everlasting torment. But He imputes the righteousness of Jesus Christ to the elect and redeems them to glory. With this in mind, how do we live? Do we live like the spoiled brat screaming at Walmart, or do we bow to the almighty sovereign hand of God, and in thankfulness live to His glory?

"What Happens to the Child of God When They Hear the Gospel?" • 1st Kings 19:11-13 - Brother Jonah Lowrance

The gospel is not a philosophical argument. It is the very food on which the children of God live. It is transferred from faith to faith by the Holy Spirit when the gospel is preached in its purity.

"Be Ye Holy" • 1st Peter 1:13-16 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

God is completely separate from this world. He has chosen us out of this world. He has separated us from this world in the new birth. And He calls on us to live separate from the influences of this world.

"Three Wisemen" - Brother Jonah Lowrance

Brother Jonah presented the story of the three Wisemen who were studious in the Old Testament as can be seen in their zeal to seek out the Lord Jesus Christ and in the gifts they presented unto Him. This story is a lesson in the studious and zealous devotion that all Christians should have.

"Should We Celebrate the Birth of Christ?" • Elder Bryce Lowrance

Drawing from scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, Elder Bryce shows that heaven, the angels, God, and His elect throughout history have celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. Yes, we should celebrate the birth of Christ, at Christmas time, and all the time.

Brother Jonah Lowrance • "We Have a Promise" - Isaiah 1:1-18

Although, like Judah, we remain sinful and aren’t getting our worship right; God has given us a promise that He has made our sins as white as snow. 

Elder Bryce Lowrance • "The Mystery Revealed" - 1st Peter 1:10-12

For over 4,000 years God hid all of the details of how salvation is accomplished. In types and shadows, God gave clues and hints how He saved, but never fully showed how it is done. Yet during all of that time, His elect were eternally saved just like His elect after the cross. This shows us that our understanding of the gospel is not the key to eternal salvation. But it does show what a precious gift we have been given in the gospel of the finished work of Jesus Christ. We can now know how God saves and have a more full assurance and hope of glory.

"Already, but Not Yet" • 1st Peter 1:6-9 - Elder Bryce Lowrance

The purpose of Peter's letter is to encourage children of God to continue to walk by faith even though they live in a world that is constantly against them. The key to that stedfast walk is a proper perspective on suffering and trial. Rather than thinking that God has abandoned us, we need to realize that our Good Father is showing us there is more "self" that needs to be removed from our lives so that we are more like His Son, Jesus. If we are truly looking forward to the return of Jesus and our resurrection, then we can understand that the Father, through various trials, is preparing us to more perfectly praise the Son on His return.
