The Word Infusion

Peter defends God's grace that had occurred at Cornelius house by telling the Apostles and Brethren in Judea what God had given to him in a vision.  Next we see Barnabas and Paul reaching many people for the Lord in Tarsus and Antioch.

Pastor Terry shows us three New Testament characters who came to know the Lord, but soon strayed off the "straight path" of the Christian life.  A strong warning from Paul for us to be careful and not to walk off the straight path that God has placed us on.

The Apostle Peter knows that his death is approaching.  As a result he wants to reminds us of the fact that he and the other Apostles were eye witnesses of the glory that God bestowed on Jesus.  He also wants to remind us that scripture they have been taught is inspired by God.  It is not something that man has interpreted on their own and written down, it is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Greg Warmerdam fills in today for Pastor Terry with a message that will help us to understand God.  Taken from Isaiah Chapter 55.

Last week Pastor Terry spoke to us about "Plowing Hope" in to others lives.  This week he reminds us that once we have our hand on the plow we can't look back.  He shares with us 3 things that God expects from us as His followers.

The Apostle Peter begins this book out with some very important information for us to know. God has given us everything we need to live this life.  What wonderful news!  Next he goes on to teach us that we need to have fruitful growth in our walk with the Lord.

We continue the story of Peter going to the Gentile household of the Roman officer, Cornelius.  A critical point in the beginning of the church.  A time when the Jews would see treating the Gentiles as complete equals.  Everyone can receive Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Plowing the field is hard work.  As Christians we are expected to plow hope in to people's lives.  It may take effort, but God will bless with spiritual fruit.  Pastor Terry will explore three things we need to do to plow this hope.

The Apostle Peter gives instruction to Pastor in this first part of this chapter.  Pastor's are not to dominate their congregations, but instead to lead by example.  Peter then gives instructions to every Christian.  We are to resist the devil and submit to God.  We need to remember that the devil is like a roaring lion.  A great visual picture to help us be more aware of the spiritual battle we are in.
