Peter tells how our sufferings can turn us from sin and toward God, how the unbelieving world will be astonished that you don't join in, and he urges us to await God's justice while we're in this unjust world.

The final study on the revival in the time of Hezekiah. The people celebrate the Lord. The gospel in the Old Testament.

Peter ends his comments about general Christian interpersonal relationships and focuses on how we respond when wronged.

After Hezekiah's faithfulness to the Lord, God allows Assyria to invade. Hezekiah responds to this invasion in three different ways. Let's look at his responses, what they reveal about his character, and how they guide our responses to difficulties.

A sermon from Isaiah chapters 7 and 8. God gives a sign to King Ahaz. It is offered as a sign of promise, but becomes a sign of judgment when Ahaz refuses God and hands the kingdom to Assyria.

Hezekiah and Judah prepare to celebrate the Passover, eagerly desiring to worship the Lord together. But they're not just concerned for themselves, but also for brothers and sisters who have gone out from them. How do we in the church read out to those brothers and sisters who are no longer worshiping with us?

Is it alive? Is your life with Christ coasting on autopilot? Do you feel like you are only going through the motions of faith? God's message to the church of Sardis in Revelation 3 is for you, a message of hope and healing.

God's judgment on the world and his salvation of his people. We Christians know this is true, but how should it affect how we live in the here and now?

We read about God's judgment unfolding. Of particular interest is how people respond to this judgment. It gives us wisdom and something to reflect about as we share the gospel today.

Peter's instructions for Elders and everyone else, mutual submission, submission to God's plans.

Come and see what it looks like for a nation to return to the Lord.

Do you ever feel like you have so many things to do (even things to do for God) that you don't have time to spend with him? God's message to the church in Ephesus is also for you.

The message of Jesus for the church of Smyrna, and for us today.

Peter teaches a way to live in light of "the end of all things" being near, a life of prayer, love, using the gifts God has given.

Are we Christians passing as non-Christians to avoid the consequences? Or are we that shining city on a hill?

Hezekiah's reward for faithfulness.
