We are all called to be champions for Christ. Paul speaks the word of God and if someone does not agree with him about the scriptures, he says that God will show the person the truth. If we want to know the truth, we should ask God and He will reveal the truth to us. God gives direction to those committed to doing whatever God says. Once God shows us something, we need to obey and do anything that He says. God's word is to be our guide. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. The earth is not our mother, God is our Creator and one day we all will stand before Him. Those in Christ Jesus eagerly await His return. God will one day make His children more glorious than we have ever been. God is not against us, instead He is rich in mercy and He chose to save us.
Jesus did something that changed everything, His death, burial, and resurrection. Pastor Wood explains this and other topics as he leads us through the book of 1 Peter.
If we are in Christ, we do not have to be afraid, even in a dungeon. Joseph's master Potiphar could have had Joseph killed, but instead, he had Joseph thrown in a dungeon. There are times when we will pray and God will not answer the way we would like. We might be tempted to think that God is against us, but that is not how we should think. Some people only study the Scriptures so that they can try and manipulate God to get what they want. Instead, we need to pray to God, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done. There is never a panic in Heaven. If we love God, all will go well. If we know God, whatever is happening is within His sovereign control. God has all power.
