From the Pulpit...

Our missionary guest speaker provided a summary on the book of 1 Peter. An overview of 1 Peter focused on the importance of being a member of a local church to be your 'Haven'. Within the church believers are told to put away all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking. Christians are reminded to seek His Word and remember how His grace was given to those who believe in Him. Additionally, we are reminded not to cling to earthly things but cling to the promise of God of eternal salvation with Him. This earthly world is not a Christian's home and we must not be conformed to it. This commands that we seek out righteous living in a manner that reflects Christ in us.
