Part 2 of 1 Peter 1:1-2...The Senior Saint Peter Gives Us His Thesis Statement

Image
  We had a great mini reunion in Michigan with all of our 4 kids and their spouses and the 11 grands.  The lake produced for a great fish fry of small and large mouth bass, bluegill and perch.  The memorial service for Stephanie's father went well with more attending than any of us expected.  The opportunity for our whole family and especially all of our grands to experience a funeral and graveside together was very meaningful to Stephanie and I.  We also had the extra blessing to see some of the congregation from our 2nd church, the Porter Free Methodist Church.   The ladies of SCC hit the trail again.  This was the East Inlet Trail about 3 miles up overlooking Grand Lake in the distance.  The trees are changing and I am assuming to see snow on the peaks again soon. I frequent different coffee shops in Grand Lake and Granby.  This picture is across from me in one of the coffee shops in Granby.  I think it is a depiction of Jesus re...

Open your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:1-2...Here we go!

  Stephanie is at it again...Another 2 ladies down the Ute Trail from the Alpine Visitor's Center and up the trail a bit toward Mt. Ida before coming down to Milner Pass.  About 6 miles on a very windy day across the alpine tundra.  No wildlife today because they were probably smartly hiding amongst the trees.  I am amazed at Stephanie's commitment to love God and love others even above 11,000 ft. While they did this hike, I was down at Milner Pass with the pick up vehicle so I wandered down a trail not on the map.  I made my way to the top of Sheep Rock and found the Old Ute Trail.  I have walked by it many times but it was hidden from me because I was looking the other direction.  The trail makes a turn to the left and this little hidden trail is to the right. Maybe this is a good illustration of looking at the book of 1st Peter.  The stones to the left of the above picture are where you go to continue onto Mt. Ida.  Your focus is in that d...

The Up and Down Life of Faithful Abraham...A new beginning on Sunday too

Image
Another scriptural journal to possess.  We finished the Gospel of Matthew starting in March of 2024 and extended it to 106 sermons.  We covered it chapter by chapter and verse by verse and word by word.  Now we open our 1st Peter scriptural journals to do the same.  I have been through 1st and 2nd Peter a couple of times.  Once in Machais, Maine at the Machias Valley Baptist Church and another time in Wautoma, Wisconsin at the Waushara Community Church.  I will be looking forward to looking again at the last words of this disciple of Jesus. This Sunday was an " in between " sermon on the life of Abraham.  He is spoken of very highly in the New Testament as a man of faith and he is but the story to get there is fascinating.  The Bible gives us all the details in Genesis and Joshua 24:2 tells us that he started out as a worshipper of other gods.  The journey to a faith that was displayed by strict obedience takes many chapters in the book of Ge...
