Who is Jesus? It's the most important question that can be asked. God's Word can answer who Jesus is. Turn to Colossians 1:15-20 to learn who Jesus is.

Curve balls in life take us outside of our comfort zone, and have us chase things that shouldn't be there. We are all going to come across those things that are unexpected, and we are not going to know what to do next. Thankfully there are examples of people in God's Word who have experienced curve balls, and handled them effectively.

We are on our 8th message looking at two letters from Peter. The first letter was focused on suffering that comes from the world because we follow Christ, but in the second, it is suffering that comes from inside, from false ideas creeping in. The church has always been bombarded with ideas from the world and too often has absorbed those ideas. The ideas can cover the whole gamut of topics but it is interesting how often the ideas are about sex and sexuality, and the authority and accuracy of this book. It is true today.

This summer we have been studying the letters of the Apostle Peter to us; and they are about suffering. Suffering when we are trying to do right, trying to live for Jesus, trying to follow His word. And suffering means stressful living, so Peter, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit addresses that. How do we keep from getting wound up and turning on each other, or God? Let’s see in 1 Peter 5 which is our last chapter of this first letter.

If Jesus is everything, I mean the thought of His presence, His face, His smile is more to us than anything we could ever think or want; then this passage (1 Peter 3:13-4:19) makes total sense. If Jesus is anything less, even a little less than everything; then I think very little of this passage makes sense.

We are continuing today our study of the letters the Apostle Peter wrote to you and me. Last week we looked at 2:4-12 and we were instructed to live carefully in front of our unbelieving neighbors. We want our lives to lead people to see and praise God, not dismiss God. Well, the passage following verse 12 shows what it looks like to live right in front of unbelievers in relation to very significant relationships that affect our day to day lives.
