Worship God as Sovereign
As God’s creation we will inevitably come realize that many of our struggles are often the result of a collision between our plans and God’s plans. Although you knew exactly what you wanted to accomplish and those things that you were determined to avoid, your life didn’t unfold as you planned. In some scenarios, it seems as if life is totally out of your control. But, you must rest in the fact that every situation, circumstance, location, experience, and relationship of your life has been under the wise and careful administration of the Lord God Almighty. He has known from the beginning exactly what He was going to do and exactly why He would do it.
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Why does God allow suffering? It’s a question asked by many. A careful, biblically sound answer is crucial for faith in the face of suffering. Senior Pastor Dr. Stephen Isaac presents in-depth, biblical teaching on the concept and reality of human suffering.
The Christian’s Call to Holiness, cont.
“We have not chosen the wrong path – we have followed the more difficult one. We were chosen for it. It is no longer enough just to be on the right path – circumstances now dictate that we follow the path that leads to righteousness. It is difficult, it is costly, but it is the path. But remember, we were chosen for it. So chosen ones, with the Day of the Lord at hand, use all righteous means possible – be willing to pay any price necessary – to follow the revealed and Holy One – the Kyrios Iesous Christos.”
Core Four – The Call of God’s People to Be Holy
Highly relevant – a Christian’s morality must be defined by the Word of God, and derived from the character of God (Who God Is) as revealed in Scripture, and then ultimately as a way of life for those who find their meaning, purpose, and the way to love in the life and person of Jesus Christ. This is the biblical roadmap to what Peter is asserting to his listeners.

The Foreknowledge of God – Petros; Πέτρος, Week 3
Core Four – The Foreknowledge of God and the Plan of Redemption
Foreknowledge – Foreknowledge is understood variously as God’s eternal loving regard and saving purpose, or merely as His passive awareness of the future choices of free individuals. With reference to God and men it carries the simple significance of perceiving in advance.
Redemption – Redemption relates to deliverance from a circumstance or condition. Most often, this involves paying a price to “buy back” the person or thing that is being ransomed. In the New Testament, redemption is almost exclusively related to Jesus’ death on the cross. God redeems humanity at the cost of Jesus’ life, which is given freely, in order that humans might be delivered from spiritual slavery and death. Jesus told His disciples that His purpose for coming was to give His life as a ransom for the redemption of men.
What is Serving God
Scriptures about serving God reveal to us who we are supposed to be. Being must always precede doing. To become a son and a daughter of God – to be known as a man or woman of God, will never be solely about what we do, it will always be about who we are. That is the key to serving God and one another. You and I can never do enough to repay God for all He has done for us, and we will never be able to do enough to make others like, love, or to be happy with us. But make no mistake, we can absolutely become who He has called us to be in Christ Jesus.
Petros; Πέτρος, Week Two
Christ is not an accessory or merely the “add-ons” to our identity, as if one were choosing options for a new car. He transforms and has the power to take over one’s broken, wounded, and flawed identity so that everything else becomes supplemental or an accessory, which is precisely what “Jesus is Lord” means. There is an evident heavy dose of Christology (Christ-centeredness) in which both of the epistles support the point that “the life of Jesus and the life of the believer are inseparable. In Peter’s narrowed way of thinking, believing, and living, Jesus is everything not merely something.”
A Historical, Literary, and Biblical Context for the Apostle Peter’s Epistles to the Early Church
Dr. Stephen Isaac delivers this teaching series at the Reunion Church, unpacking timeless doctrinal precepts given to the Apostle Peter as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to send letters of instruction to equip, and encourage the early Christian Church. Who received those letters and why? We need to answer those questions and many others to gain depth of understanding regarding foundational and critically relevant biblical themes essential to the Christian faith including… The Foreknowledge of God, The Call of God’s Chosen to Holiness, The Apologetic of Righteous Suffering, The End of All Things, and The Prophetic Day of the Lord.
