Welcome to Youngsville Free Methodist Church

As an elder myself, I have many questions as I read this passage.

Two things I don’t want to do: 1. Be a slave  2. Be persecuted.   Here’s what Peter says about both

It occurs to me that these chapters in 1 Peter have enough doctrine and practical application to base your whole life on.

Peter is talking about a new kind of church.

I suppose that if we all followed Paul’s advice to Titus most political campaigns would lose 80% of their material.

What a crew the people of Crete must have been.  If you have to tell the older women to quit getting drunk that can only mean that they were doing it.   That’s not an image I want in my head, or in my family tree for that matter.

Paul gives some great advice on selecting leaders here.   I see his requirements as a challenge to do better.

As I was reading this passage this morning, I thought of something that I have never thought of before.

One of the most important things that we can do as Christians is offered here, and we often read right over it.

Three topics today:  false teachers, the law and God’s gifts of mercy and grace.   Let’s get right to it.
