HERE’S THE QUESTION WE’RE ASKING: How am I to live different as a Christian?

In other words, our success will be seriously hindered if we don’t use the tools (directions) God has given us. The Epistles provide daily insight into God’s will for the Christian. They help us overcome practical problems with Godly responses.

This morning let’s also recognize the growth in Peter and apply the lessons of faith so we can grow too. Peter was no joke! Tradition tells us that Peter’s wife was crucified while Peter was forced to watch. And, it’s reported that Peter cried to her as she was dying, He screams out, “Remember the Lord!” Then Peter was crucified upside down. Point being, Peter’s walk with Jesus had matured! And he was putting into practice the things he wrote here.
