What does Christian perseverance look like? How do I persevere when persecution finally comes? Is there a secret to persevering in the faith? In this sermon, Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez looks at 1 Peter 5:6-14. Peter calls Christians to persevere through prayer. Our prayers should seek for peace within ourselves, our church, and our world. With a humble heart, we pray, meek in His might, calm until commendation. We surrender our anxiety to Jesus and look for His solace.
Peter urges Christians to resist the devil to persist in the faith. Believers must be alert and aware, stand firm in the faith, and be patient until perfection. The apostle closes the letter by saluting fellow servants and calling Christians to be grounded in grace. Finally Peter reminds believers to gather and greet each other in the peace of Christ.
