The sermon this week continues the series based on 1-2 Peter and 1-3 John. God is love. To think of love is to think first of God. The truth is, as Les & Leslie Parrott write,”no matter what our choices, God still loves.” The way that we know we love God is that we love…

Christians live their lives in the moment, doing good as God directs. But, Christians also live their lives with an eye on the future, keeping watch and staying ready. In this lesson, Mike explains why “being ready” is so important.
This lesson from 2 Peter stresses the idea of readiness. In this lesson, Will dives into the concept of “being ready” for the Lord’s coming, and details the kind of people we ought to be as we await that great Day.

In this lesson, Mike explores how we view the concept of suffering and the ways it can change our perception of life.
