00:04:47.920 |
We always want to be thankful for the privilege 00:04:51.920 |
I pray, Lord God, that as we come here tonight, 00:04:53.920 |
that you allow us to have strength and energy 00:04:56.920 |
to remember that we are coming to worship a holy God, 00:05:02.920 |
remembering who you are and all that you've done for us, 00:05:05.920 |
and that we would come here with worshipful hearts, God, 00:05:08.920 |
eager to sing these songs to you and eager to study your word 00:05:13.920 |
I pray that right now as we just go into a time of singing, 00:05:16.920 |
that these lyrics and words that we sing to you 00:05:18.920 |
be an offering that we give to you from our hearts. 00:05:43.920 |
Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving kindness as a flood. 00:06:26.920 |
He can never be forgotten throughout heaven's eternal 00:06:39.920 |
On the mount of crucifixion, fountains open deep and wide. 00:07:03.920 |
Grace and love like mighty rivers poured incessant 00:07:32.920 |
He can never be forgotten throughout heaven's 00:09:33.920 |
When the enemy surrounds and my heart grows faithful within, 00:09:44.920 |
when the darkness overwhelms and my fears are passing in, 00:10:33.920 |
In the midst of every threat, though the wicked never yield, 00:10:47.920 |
As I know the outcome sure, Satan's evil plans will fail. 00:11:47.920 |
Through your sacrifice so great, I have beasts as undeserved. 00:11:56.920 |
For the battle has been won, and I fear no shame or loss. 00:13:02.920 |
Pouring out our hearts before you, we will trust in you. 00:13:39.920 |
Pouring out our hearts before you, we will trust in you. 00:13:58.920 |
Perfect Savior, strong defender, we will trust in you. 00:14:37.920 |
Well, it looks like you guys all have, like, snacks and stuff, 00:14:50.920 |
And then we've got--so we've got seven verses out of the last 105. 00:14:58.920 |
So let me go ahead and read chapter 5, verses 8 to 14 for all of us. 00:15:04.920 |
And then we will break up into a time of small group. 00:15:19.920 |
Father, it's been five months since we've started just this journey 00:15:30.920 |
And there's a lot that's happened in this world just in the last five months. 00:15:34.920 |
And I'm sure that there are various changes in our lives as well, 00:15:40.920 |
some for the better, some for the more painful and worse. 00:16:08.920 |
that you would etch the important truths onto our hearts 00:16:14.920 |
so that we would know you more and we would be changed. 00:16:19.920 |
And so this last Bible study for this book, I pray that you would protect it, 00:16:24.920 |
bless our time, and allow us really to glean much from your word 00:16:34.920 |
We pray these things in trusting it in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. 00:16:40.920 |
So let me read the last seven verses for you. 00:16:53.920 |
Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, 00:17:02.920 |
Affirm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being 00:17:06.920 |
accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. 00:17:13.920 |
the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself 00:17:19.920 |
perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you, 00:17:27.920 |
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, for so I regard him, 00:17:30.920 |
I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true 00:17:37.920 |
She who is in Babylon chosen together with you sends you greetings, 00:17:44.920 |
Greet one another with a kiss of love, and peace be to you all who are in Christ." 00:17:54.920 |
So the first two questions you guys are very familiar with. 00:17:58.920 |
The latter two, after you've done just kind of the verse-by-verse inductive, 00:18:05.920 |
question number three are what are some of the major themes in 1 Peter that have 00:18:09.920 |
blessed and challenged you in your pursuit of God? 00:18:12.920 |
So what are those things now that you've done the 105 verses? 00:18:18.920 |
And number four, if you've prepared one or you're clever enough to prepare one on 00:18:23.920 |
the spot, okay, share your one-sentence summary of 1 Peter. 00:18:28.920 |
And we'll wrap that up like that, and then at 820 we'll do our final wrap-up.
