Ep. 100 - PBC - 1 Peter 1:12-21 - Peter Knows the Future, Speaks to The Inspiration of Scripture, and Gives Behind the Scenes of the Transfiguration

PBC = People's Bible Commentary Series In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow wrestle with what it would be like to know that you are going to die soon like Peter did. What would you want to do before your last day? What would you want to say? Peter gives us an amazing example by staying steadfast to the end, and in fact, leaning even more into being outspoken for Jesus and the facts of his life, death and resurrection. Therefore, Peter also talks about the inspiration of Scripture and that these are not made up stories. Peter was an eye-witness. The Holy Spirit gave these words so that we may find hope in these accounts and believe in Jesus as real and vital for our salvation. Join us! Follow this podcast. Leave a comment.
