The only thing worse than an unbeliever living in the land of sin is a believer going back for frequent visits or extended stays. And, as Ron Moore explains, the tragedy is that as believers, we have the power of Jesus available to put to death temptation. So how do we avoid this? As we continue our study of 1 Peter, we'll learn how to embrace our new identities and be done with sin.

Is Jesus truly the Lord of your life? Is your life characterized by hope? Are you prepared to explain what Jesus has done in your life? Being able to answer these questions is an important step in preparing our hearts and lives for the challenges we'll face in the future. As Ron Moore continues our study of 1 Peter, we'll take a closer look at these questions, and others, and the answers we can find in God's Word.

Ron Moore takes a candid look at the reasons men and women leave the church. He challenges us to examine our own lives to see if we may have contributed to a person's lack of interest in the body of believers. We'll also learn about six key virtues which should be present in every church.

Marriage is God's idea. It is ordained by Him and it's regulated by His commands. As Ron Moore continues in 1 Peter, he'll speak directly to husbands and wives with encouragement from the Scripture showing us how we can honor God in our marriages. We'll see how maintaining a strong love and commitment to God is key to increasing the love and commitment we have for our spouse.

Many Americans today spend close to half of their waking hours at work. So when it comes to conflict in the workplace, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. If you're going through a tough situation now, or feel like you've failed this test in the past and want to do better, Ron Moore will share five biblical steps from 1 Peter to follow when life at work gets hard.

What does it mean that we've been chosen by God? As Ron Moore continues our study of 1 Peter, we take a closer look at this word which Peter repeats often throughout his epistle. As we look closer at the Doctrine of Election, we'll discover four principles which we can apply to our lives today. We'll also discover reason to praise and find inspiration to continue reaching out to the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ron Moore highlights a powerful metaphor in his study of 1 Peter today: Christ as cornerstone. By examining Jesus' role as cornerstone, we'll see how we as believers can find our strength and spiritual alignment in this supernatural source. We'll be encouraged to step out with boldness and authority as we serve God in our day-to-day lives.

Not only does our salvation grant us a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, it has the power to transform our relationships with friends, neighbors and family members. As Ron Moore continues his study of 1 Peter, we'll look at the five "old garments" we're to get rid of in order to engage in loving relationships with other people.

Being redeemed from our sins by the blood of Christ guarantees for us an imperishable inheritance in heaven. But how are we to live our lives in the meantime? Ron Moore continues his study of 1 Peter with a message to encourage us to prepare our minds for action. We'll also discover some practical tips for living today with eternity in mind.

Hope is one of the most important gifts we get from God. Not just a hope for a good tomorrow, but a living hope in an everlasting inheritance. Ron Moore takes us back to the Book of 1 Peter to show us three important aspects of the living hope we have in Christ. By considering the impact this message of hope had on the early church, we'll see the impact it can have in the church today.
