The times they are changing. We are in the midst of a transition. And the question that I want to pose to each of us not just tonight, but throughout this weekend is this When these things begin to become more intense persecution for walking and faithfulness? How are you going to respond? Will your behavior match your profession? Are you going to have a walk that truly honors God. And I believe that when we open up Peter's first epistle, that he provides much information, in order that our profession will indeed be accompanied by righteous behavior, by an obedience that truly testifies that our faith is not in ourselves or in anyone other than our Lord and Savior, Messiah

Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 1:13–25
When you hear about God's wonderful inheritance that He has for you, that is immortal, it does not corrupt, it is eternal for you. What does that make you want to do?

First Peter Chapter 2 part 1
Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 2:1–10
Do you want to live a sanctified life? That is, do you want to be a vessel, where the power of God, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is clearly seen in you and through you, that you become an individual that has a godly influence on others, and that you are able to submit to God and be a blessing in the life of others. Now, it's easy to say, Yes, I do. The question is, that's not enough. So what is it that we must do, if those things are going to become a reality in our life? Well, that's what Peter is going to share with us, beginning in chapter two.

Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 2:11–25
Over and over in the Scripture. God wants us to demonstrate submissiveness. We know biblically there's a relationship between submissiveness and humility. And we need to recognize godly authority over our life. Take out your Bible. Let's continue in this first epistle of Peter. And chapter two, we'll begin where we left off.
First Peter Chapter 3 part 1
Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 3:1–11
A covenant is most precious to God. It's not just an agreement. But it's an agreement from God, which contains His promises. Now, when we open up the Scripture, we see that there are numerous covenants in the Bible, one of which, and I would suggest to you, one of the most important covenants is a marriage covenant. The Bible reveals that marriage is just not a relationship, but a covenantal relationship. And with each covenant, there are expectations, there are terms. And this marriage covenant is a most powerful covenant. The benefits are numerous. And the question that we need to ask ourselves if we're married, wives, are you favorite? Are you faithful to that covenant men? Are you faithful to that covenant?
First Peter Chapter 3 part 2
Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 3:12–22
Many people have pointed out that this book is a book of promise. God throughout the scriptures, makes promises to us, of what he wants to do in our life. If we submit now one of the things that people oftentimes struggle with is worry. They are fearful. They realize that there is an enemy. They know that that enemy hates derives pleasure from seen others suffer. And therefore it's not paranoia. It's legitimate. The enemy is fearful. But God makes a promise. And we see what that promise is to remove worry.
First Peter Chapter 4
Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 4
We all know that our battle is not against flesh and blood. We know that the weapons of spiritual warfare that God equips us with is mighty, mighty for bringing down those strongholds. We know in Ephesians chapter six that Paul goes through a list of those weapons, in order that we would be thoroughly equip, for the battle. But Peter, in this fourth chapter of his first epistle, he speaks about a weapon, a weapon that is powerful, a weapon that is going to not only work against the enemy, but bring about a most significant change in your life, in my life.
First Peter Chapter 5
Baruch Korman • 1 Peter 5
A few years ago, there was a very popular book entitled dress for success. Never read that book. But the premise was this. If you focus in on your attire, it will influence your life. And many people believe that as you pay attention to every aspect of your appearance, it will pay dividends, it will bring about change. But I don't know about that. But I want you to think tonight or this morning, about your kingdom attire. When you're in the kingdom, how are you going to be presenting yourself? Peace, Peter mentioned something. He mentions a crown of glory. And he says that crown of glory, that glory doesn't diminish. Its eternal.
