Six and One

1 Peter 3:1-7

December 6, 2020 • Pastor Jim Amador

Give

Throughout chapter three, we see a common theme of submission. Honoring our spouses through submission directly reflects our heart towards God. God has established the household with Jesus as the head and the husband as the leader. The man carries the responsibility of leading his wife and children as he follows Christ. Men are to nurture and protect their wives as they would valuable treasure. As the man leads, nurtures, and protects, the wife will naturally honor and submit to the leading of the husband. Through submission and honor of the wife and protection and nurturing from the husband, we see a flourishing household as God intended.

Feed God's Flock

February 21, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador

Jesus has established His church to make disciples and to expand His kingdom in earth. Within the church He has established leaders to help guide the flock, grow the flock, and to solidify the faith of Christians. To be planted in a biblical church is vital for our growth in Christ. Satan is prowling around like a lion, seeking whom he may destroy. We must be vigilant and properly equipped to fight off his temptations!

Suffering For God's Glory

February 14, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador

Suffering most often is viewed as a negative thing, and it is without Christ. As Christians, our suffering can ultimately bring glory to God. There are many who have suffered before us in similar ways. We are not alone. Just as a weightlifter needs a spotter, God has given us fellow Christians to help us through our sufferings. In many cases, the degree in which you suffer is related to how you handle the situation which caused you to suffer. It was once stated, "The Christian life is a banquet because God has invited us to the table of salvation, but it's not a picnic."

Christ, Our Example

February 7, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador

Many times in our lives, God allows suffering and despair caused by sin to bring us to a point of repentance. When we deny the leading of the Holy Spirit concerning the conviction of sin, it's only a matter of time that we will suffer the consequences of those sins. The results of those consequences should bear the fruit of no longer living in the sin of our flesh but to live for the will of God. God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose!
