Jimmy Davis - In 1 Peter 4:1-6, Peter casts a vision for the cross-shaped life. If our lives have been shaped BY the cross of Jesus, then they will take the shape OF the the cross of Jesus.

Jimmy Davis - Living the Jesus-shaped life of loving the way Jesus loves and suffering the way Jesus suffers requires us to rest in the ways Jesus reigns over the power of our sin, the power of death, the powers of darkness, and over every power forever.

Jimmy Davis - As strange as it may seem and as difficult as it may be, Peter teaches us that one of the ways we show our submission to Jesus is to humbly, submissively serve under our civil authorities.

Jimmy Davis - Jesus is the Cornerstone of God’s new temple. Believers adore Him, and are attached and aligned to Him as living stones. Now we serve as His holy priesthood for the glory of God and the good and gladness of the world.
