1 Peter 4:7-11 | Sermon Resources | 9 February 2025
Summary
In our passage last week, Pastor Billy talked about the hostility we all face – our flesh. Amid this challenge, we are to put off worldly behavior and desires. This week we will look at what we are to put on. Peter motivates the believer to be alert, to love deeply, to serve the Lord passionately, and to do everything for God’s glory. Sounds easy, but in this world of hostility and sin, not easily accomplished. Today we will seek encouragement from God’s word to help us do what the Lord requires!
