Peter challenges his audience with the brevity of life as well as the impending judgment of God on the living and the dead. Next, Peter proclaims that the end of all things is near, and in light of that certain Christian ethics are to follow.<br /><br />Reference text: <a href="http://just1word.com/bibl/1pe_4:1-11?version=niv" rel="external">I Peter 4:1-11</a><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[1] Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. [2] As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. [3] For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do&ndash;living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. [4] They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. [5] But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. [6] For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[7] The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. [8] Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. [9] Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. [10] Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God&rsquo;s grace in its various forms. [11] If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever.

In this message we discuss the background of this section and a challenge to allow God to build us into something useful for His kingdom.<br /><br />Reference text: <a href="http://just1word.com/bibl/1pe_2:4-10?version=niv" rel="external">I Peter 2:4-10</a><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[4] As you come to him, the living Stone&ndash;rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him &ndash; [5] you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.  [6] For in Scripture it says:   <br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"See, I lay a stone in Zion, <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a chosen and precious cornerstone, <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the one who trusts in him <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will never be put to shame." <br /><br />[7] Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,    <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"The stone the builders rejected <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has become the capstone,"  [8] and,   <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"A stone that causes men to stumble <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and a rock that makes them fall."  <br /><br />They stumble because they disobey the message&ndash;which is also what they were destined for. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[9] But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  [10]Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.<br /><br />Question of the week: We're a part of a people belonging to God.  In what ways am I not living up to that?
