Tonight I was going to go to Peter’s next major thought – “To an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled, and fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” But I’m going to postpone that, because in order to fully understand it, we need to take a step back. Before...

If you were asked to rank the importance of salvation in your life, what rank would you give it? If you understand the depths of your sinfulness, and if you understand the heights of God’s righteousness, then you’d need to give salvation a rank of 10 out of 10. And if...

I intend, this evening, to come back to these verses and preach them under title: “The Progression of Election.” But in an attempt to be more evangelical this morning, let’s consider the last two points of that upcoming message: “obedience” and “the sprinkling of the...

We are beginning this evening, what I hope will be, a two pronged study. Since I have only a couple more decades of ministry ahead of me, and there is so much Biblical material, I’m going to try to combine two subjects in this study: the life of Peter and Peter’s...
