Peter - Living with the End in Mind
Part of 1&2 Peter: Standing firm in shifting times

—1 Peter 4:7-11

Begin with the end in mind — JESUS is coming BACK!

—1 Peter 4:7

—1 Peter 3:7

—Job 35:12-13

—Micah 3:4

—James 4:2-3

—1 Peter 4:8


We love the fact God LOVES us even when we are unlovable. Yet this idea of loving the unlovable is also the very thing that makes Christianity so difficult to live out. How do you MOVE TOWARD those who have treated you poorly?

—Luke 6:32 -36

• Continue to LOVE Others EARNESTLY — In Spite of INCONSISTENCIES.

—Luke 23:33-34

—1 Peter 4:9

• Continue to Show HOSPITAITY — Instead of COMPLAINING.

—Philippians 2:14-15

—1 Peter 4:10-11

• Continue to Use Your GIFTS to SERVE — Even when FRUSTRATED.

Don’t let someone’s ill behavior keep you from doing the good you are called to do!

Keep your focus on doing good in spite of what transpires!

—1 Peter 4:12-16

    • Continue to Rejoice in SUFFERING — Knowing Jesus also SUFFERED.

—1 Peter 4:17-19

TAKEAWAY: CONTINUE to love, show hospitality, and serve — REGARDLESS of how you are treated.
