This live recording of a discussion with Ken Boa (moderated by Michael Stewart) addresses a topic that affects all of humanity: what happens after we die? What do we know about the afterlife from the Bible? This talk occurred at GraceLife Church (Pineville, NC) on in September 2018 as part of its In Question series.
Peter talks about the surprising power and gift of grace that comes upon us which overcomes adversity and suffering. When we keep an eternal perspective, God gives us peace, patience and comfort in a way that transcends the circumstances of life.
We all have broken stories and Peter wants us to understand that we can rewrite our story. We can imbed our story in a greater narrative that begins and ends well. When we are a part of God’s story our life matters. When we keep an eternal perspective we understand that the adversity and afflictions of this life will only be brief and the glory will endure.
Peter’s first epistle was written near the end of his life and it is designed to give us perspective. He tells us that we get to see things that the saints of the Old Testament could not see. And in light of these things, we have a living hope that brings confidence and stability and we can live in a manner that anticipates these future glories.
Dr. Boa explores the nature and mystery of the triune God and the living hope that is grounded in the Word of God and in the Son. He reminds us, as we reflect on the inheritance reserved in heaven for us, to be a people of gratitude who understand that all of life is gift and all of life is grace.
Dr. Boa contextualizes the first epistle of Peter, written on the edge of tremendous persecution and affliction. He walks us through fifteen verses that provide perspective and timeless principles relating to adversity.
