1 Peter 1 :14-21 gets in to the specifics of how we are to prepare ourselves for Christ’s return. We are called to be holy people. But am I holy? And can I be holy?

There is a temptation to think of the christian as simply waiting for Jesus to return… Peter calls his audience to action. He calls them to get ready and prepare for the return of Christ. Which begs the question, what are you doing to prepare for Christ’s return? Our text is 1 Peter 1:13

Suffering is a difficult subject to discuss, and a difficult thing to endure. But the Biblical perspective of suffering teaches us that it is for a purpose, and that it proves the genuineness of our faith. The text for this message is 1 Peter 1:3-6.
