Seeking Harmony I’m not a singer. But I like to sing. I like to sing in a choir, in a group, and with the congregation. I sometimes get confident somewhat and I try to harmonize.

Continuing Paul's explanation of how our lives as Christians are transformed, we come to how we relate to those around us, both in and outside the church, who are difficult, who hound us. Like everything else, this part of our life is totally transformed by the grace of God, and we find ourselves unable (at least as far as we live in the Spirit) to repay evil with evil.

Review: Last week we learned a new Hebrew word, Talmidim. What does this word mean? Disciples What is a disciple? Someone who is willing to give up everything - even his life - to be like the rabbi.

After a 6-week break from 1 Peter for our Christmas series, we probably need to get our bearings all over again. 1 Peter is a masterful letter, written by the apostle Peter to the scattered Christians living throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey).

Intro Those of you who know what kind of a student I was like would understand that I was a perfectionist in the sense that I tried my hardest on every single assignment.
