Today, we’re going to be answering the question, “When is it right to resist?” Because we are men and women who love the Lord and love His Word, we are to design our lives and our behavior to align with the Word of God. And sometimes that might require that we resist the world and what it says for the sake of our faith and our beliefs. In order for us to understand resistance, we need to understand what the Bible describes. Let me give you several biblical examples of civil disobedience. I am not sharing this with you to get a crowd together to resist the government or to resist some individual. I want to give you some principles that you can use to guide your life.

A Call To Suffering
December 10, 2023 • Dr. Curt Dodd • 1 Peter 5:8–11
From the moment you give your life to Christ, I wish that everything would come up roses, and everything would be better. Many people say that everything will be great as soon as you accept Christ. That is not what the New Testament teaches. Instead, it teaches a sobering concept of how to live this life regardless of what happens to you, even if it is suffering. As we wrap up this series, we’re going to use this message to talk about the different realities surrounding suffering in the life of the believer so that we can know how to honor God when we face seasons of suffering.
A Call To The Right Attitudes - Part 5
December 3, 2023 • Dr. Curt Dodd • 1 Peter 5:5–11
Last week, we talked about the importance of dwelling with a spiritual mindset. Specifically, we began to break down what it looks practically to have a spiritual mindset according to 1 Peter 5. We’re going to continue that discussion today and talk about three more steps you can take to be prepared to stand against the devil and stay strong in your faith.
A Call To The Right Attitudes - Part 4
November 26, 2023 • Dr. Curt Dodd • 1 Peter 5:8–9
Today’s key passage teaches us a critical attitude that we need to embrace. We must dwell with a spiritual mindset as we develop a teachable spirit and destroy the curse of anxiety. To put it plainly, a spiritual mindset is essential for maturing believers. As followers of Jesus, we are in a spiritual war. There is another realm outside what you can see and experience. This dimension of reality is more real than the physical reality that many people experience. Therefore, if we’re going to make a difference in this world, we must have a spiritual mindset. In other words, we need to think like God thinks and see what God sees. In today’s message, we’re going to talk about exactly what it looks like to think and see the way God does.
