1 Peter

Описание: We explore the profound spiritual meaning behind 1 Peter 2: 24: "He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." While we often seek physical relief from sickness, this study examines how the "healing" promised through Christ's suffering is primarily the salvation of our souls from the disease of sin. We also begin a discussion on the Christian's relationship to civil government, looking at the biblical call to submission in a fallen world. Learn how returning to the "Shepherd and Overseer of your souls" provides the direction and care needed to navigate life's trials and responsibilities.
