In this study, we continue the message of suffering for our faith knowing that Jesus suffered for us.

We will continue study as we look at suffering as Christ suffered for us.

Unity with others can only come when we are first united in the Spirit with the mind of Christ. For many today, unity doesn’t first begin with submission, but rather on how we can get others to come along side us and what we are doing. The mind of Christ is always about others. But this is the second greatest commandment. We cannot just do this command unless we first seek the first, which is to Love God with all of our heart soul mind and strength.

We will be finishing our study in the book of Malachi

We will be looking at the marriage relationship. It’s interesting that Peter inserts this message right in the middle of submitting to authority and engaging with others. At first glance this seems out of place, but in actuality, it makes sense when keeping things in context.

We will be looking at submitting to those in authority over us.

In this study we will be reminded that the book of Malachi is about the last prophet to speak for over 400 years. The next prophet to come on the scene is John the Baptist, who will prepare the way for Jesus’ coming.

We will look at Jesus being the chief cornerstone, is the foundation of everything.
