Last week, Pastor introduced the idea of a 7-story building as an illustration of our Christian life. Each floor represents a virtue we must add to our faith if we are to grow into mature Christian. The first floor is moral excellence – our lives must change as we are now morally awake and desire to be more like Christ. To that we add knowledge – which fine tunes this sense of morality. Then, floor 3 is self-control – necessary to prevent legalism and promote humility. And floor 4 is perseverance – because it's not long into the life of Believer that trials come and try to destroy our faith. We'll pick up here and continue on through floor 7 of Christ-centered life.

Your Godly Virtues (Part 1)
In what might be seen as a review, Peter begins his letter with his usual greeting and a reminder to the Christians in Asia Minor that they have been given great spiritual gifts by God – starting with salvation. These spiritual realities may be hard to spot when you're going through tough times, so Peter is wise to refresh the memories of the early church, and for us to do so as well. In today's message we discover the framework for the Christian life. There are many metaphors we can use, as you'll hear, but the idea of a 7-story building is a favorite. Each floor represents a virtue we must add to our faith if we are to grow into mature Christian. This is a Christ-centered life.

Your Glorious Realities (Part 2)
Peter is going to have a lot to say about false teachers prowling around the early church, which is important, even today, since there are certainly false teachers attacking the Christian faith – often from within. But last week we started by exploring the opening lines of the letter – the greeting and blessing from Peter. We were reminded of God's grace to us, and His gift to us. Today we'll pick up where we left off, with Pastor explaining how ancient letters were structured, and then marvel at God's generosity.
