Jesus, Peter, Us - Making Disciples 11/17/2024

Jesus, Peter, Us - Making Disciples Disciple making incorporates the entirety of the Christian life, and it is one of the clearest ways that we can show love towards our family and the world. Now that we are clear on what it means to be/make a disciple of Jesus, let's turn our attention to the brief but helpful pattern that Peter gives to us. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33962237

Which Road Am I On? 11/10/2024

Which Road Am I On? In our study today, the Apostle Peter uses clear and powerful language to describe two very different roads a believer could choose to follow. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33870422

Godliness and Love 11/03/2024

Godliness and Love 2 Peter 1:3-8 reveals that Jesus has granted us everything needed to become like Him in character, values, attitudes and actions. But to what end? For what purpose? We have also discovered that becoming partakers of the divine nature; of possessing the character, values, attitudes and actions of Jesus Himself, requires effort on our part. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33765532

Steadfastness 10/27/2024

Steadfastness As followers of Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to become like Christ in character, values, attitudes and actions. This transformation starts with a growing knowledge of Jesus and His promises. Then we are to make every effort to supplement, or add to, our faith with the qualities found in 2 Peter 1:5-7. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33633187

Self-Control 10/20/2024

Self-Control Self-control is the war between impulsivity and doing what's right or beneficial. It's the ability to control emotions, impulses or behaviors to achieve a greater goal. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33538037

Make Every Effort 10/13/2024

Make Every Effort Jesus has granted us everything needed to become like Him, but we must put effort into the process of transformation as well. The very first principle we see in this passage is that: Becoming partakers of the divine nature; of possessing the character, values, attitudes and actions of Jesus Himself, requires serious effort on our part. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33439482

Partakers of the Divine Nature 10/06/2024

Partakers of the Divine Nature The goal of God’s salvation plan for you wasn’t completed the moment you trusted in Jesus as your Savior; that was just the beginning. God wants to reform you into the character, values, attitudes and actions of Jesus Himself. This is the message of 2 Peter. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33349967

Personal Growth Plan 09/22/2024

Personal Growth Plan Peter introduced himself, which was usual for a letter, but did so with an unusual juxtaposition. He identified himself with two nouns that could not be farther from each other. He began with the title of "servant / slave" in greek, doulos. This word was used to describe someone who was fully and completely under the authority of another. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33160282

Wake And Remember 09/15/2024

Wake And Remember As we embark on a study of 2 Peter, it is always so important for us to rightly understand the context. We practice the historical-grammatical approach to interpreting the scriptures, seeking to arrive at the author's original intent and then we can appropriately apply God’s Word to our lives. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/33062072

Water Baptism For Believers 09/08/2024

Water Baptism For Believers Down through the centuries of the church, many things have been taught and practiced with regard to water baptism. Some churches sprinkle, some baptize infants, some make baptism a requirement for church membership, some believe baptism is necessary in order to be reconciled to God. This morning I will share what we believe about baptism and why. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32963097

God Will Make All Things Right 09/01/2024

God Will Make All Things Right Peter concludes his letter to his beloved brothers and sisters in Christ to endure the humiliations that come with suffering knowing a day is coming when God will make all things right. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32855482

Shepherd Elders 08/25/2024

Shepherd Elders Wise leadership is a blessing from the LORD especially during times of stress and calamity. Peter calls upon the elders of the churches of Asia Minor to shepherd their church families as they suffer persecution for being Christians. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32732037

Christian Suffering 08/18/2024

Christian Suffering Persecution is here in the United States and by all indicators, it will increase in frequency and intensity. This is hard for Christians in America because of the support Christianity has enjoyed historically. Those days are gone. We need to learn how to think about and respond to Christian suffering from Peter’s instructions to his suffering audience. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32629027

Living To The Glory of God 08/11/2024

Living To The Glory of God How are we to understand this? We’re prone to think Peter was saying that the end of the world was near. With the resurrection, ascension and exaltation of Jesus (3:22) God’s plan of salvation here on earth entered its final stage that will culminate in the second coming of Jesus. This may well be what Peter had in mind when he made this statement. The point being that in light of the fact that we’re in the home stretch, we should be about these three things that follow. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32533797

Settle It 08/04/2024

Settle It Pagans of the first century viewed Christians as killjoys who lived gloomy lives devoid of pleasure. The pleasures from which Christians of the first century typically abstained earned Christians the reputation of being haters of humanity and traitors to the Roman way of life. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32432562

Suffering For Doing Good 07/28/2024

Suffering For Doing Good Peter is writing Christians, both Jews and Gentiles, who were expelled from the vicinity of the city of Rome and resettled in remote parts of Asia Minor which is modern day Turkey. They are foreigners living in hostile communities. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32325007

It's Better 07/21/2024

It's Better Peter wrote to Christians expelled from Rome and resettled in remote parts of Asia Minor. They were foreigners living in hostile communities. Even in a hostile setting like that of Peter’s readers, believers can live in such a way as to get along peacefully with their neighbors. Being honest, being respectful, working hard and doing good work go a long way towards garnering good will from one’s neighbors. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32234142

Polished Boots 07/14/2024

Polished Boots When faced with unjust insult and evil, Peter’s readers must decide whether to respond in kind out of the old nature and perpetuate strife or to demonstrate the power of God’s grace through radically new conduct. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32129717

Winsome Wives and Humble Husbands 07/07/2024

Winsome Wives and Humble Husbands The phrase "with all fear" specifies the way that servants are to be subject to their masters. However, we need to identify the object of that fear. The one they should fear is determined by 2:17 building off of 1:17, where Peter makes the claim that one of the primary motivations for Godly living in a hostile environment, is the "fear" of the Lord. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/32038957

Called To Suffer 06/23/2024

Called To Suffer Called To Suffer - 1 Peter 2:11-25 /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31856642

The New Temple God has honored your faith in Jesus by making you a living stone and a holy priest in His Temple; His dwelling place on earth today. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31766809

Love One Another 06/09/2024

Love One Another Because LOVING ONE ANOTHER is one of the primary purposes of God’s Covenant Community of which you are a member. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31673167

Be Like Our Father In Heaven 06/02/2024

Be Like Our Father In Heaven We Will Give Account to Jesus and Receive either Reward or Rebuke! /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31571892

Puzzled Prophets, Envious Angels 05/26/2024

Puzzled Prophets, Envious Angels Puzzled Prophets, Envious Angels /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31474287

Good Grief 05/19/2024

Good Grief In our section today Peter will address how the various trials we face should be thought of, and that when we are thinking rightly about these difficulties, there is even joy to be had in the midst of them. That there really is "Good Grief." /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31372857

Praises To Our Merciful God 05/12/2024

Praises To Our Merciful God Not only was Peter setting out to teach and remind these "chosen foreigners" that they were indeed the children of God, but he wanted them to rightly understand their new birth into God’s family and some of the incredible truths that were part and parcel of being born again. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31252762

Chosen Foreigners 05/05/2024

Chosen Foreigners Peter drew parallels between his readers and Israel. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31132973

No Work, No Eat - It's Natural 04/28/2024

No Work, No Eat - It's Natural There were some believers (Christians) in the Thessalonian church who were not working to support themselves. They were ‘walking in idleness’. Instead of working, they were relying on the church or those in the church to provide for their daily needs. This caused discouragement, and unnecessary strain on the rest of the believers. /episode/index/show/gccramona/id/31019738

A Solid Foundation 04/21/2024
