Pastor Ruddat takes you through 1 Peter chapter 3.

In this Bible study of 1 Peter 2, Pastor Dave Ruddat explores the themes of identity, suffering, and vocation. Key points include:Living Stones: Believers are called "living stones" built into a spiritual house, with Christ as the precious cornerstone (0:57-1:15). While some embrace him, others stumble over the word, leading to different outcomes based on faith (3:52-4:20).Royal Priesthood: Every believer is part of a "royal priesthood," meaning there is no distinct priestly class; all have direct access to God through Christ (8:52-14:15).Vocation: Vocation is defined as a two-fold calling: a call to faith and a call to live out that faith through daily life. This includes our stations in family, citizenship, work, and the church (15:59-20:51).Submission and Suffering: Christians are urged to live as "aliens and temporary residents" (21:01-21:27) and to submit to governing authorities (25:16-25:40) and masters, even if they are harsh (29:45-30:09). Suffering is contextualized through the lens of Christ's own suffering, reminding believers they are never alone in their struggles (33:06-35:41).

Matthew 16:13-1613 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

A door is not the most exciting picture of Christ, but it is comforting.

Our Hearts are Burning, Why? (Luke 24:13-35) We are people who are led by our hearts more than we want to admit, and just because we feel something doesn't make it true or godly. What makes the burning hearts of the Emmaus disciples different?
