We continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 Peter. In this teaching, we go through chapter 4 and learn about the "benefits" of suffering.

Matters of Opinion (Romans 14)
In Romans 14, Paul admonishes his readers not to pass judgment on one another over days and foods. Based on this chapter of Scripture, many believe Paul teaches that it doesn't matter whether or not believers observe the commanded holy days and dietary laws in the Torah. But is that really what Romans 14 teaches?

Testing King James Onlyism
Some people believe that the KJV is without error and the only English Bible version people should use. Some "KJV-Onlyists" go so far as to claim that other English Bible versions are deliberate attempts to deceive the masses and that Christians who prefer other versions might not even be saved. This teaching addresses these claims.
Monogamy: God's Creational Marriage Ideal
One fundamental theological principle revealed in the Genesis creation accounts is that marriage, as God intended it, is to be monogamous. In this video, we demonstrate how the Bible upholds this marital form as the ideal standard. Afterward, we address a polygamy advocate's objections to this biblical concept.
Does Leviticus 18:18 Prohibit Polygamy?
Numerous scholars have argued that Leviticus 18:18 prohibits not just sororal polygyny (a polygamous marriage between a man and two women who are sisters) but polygamy generally. In this video, we unpack the historical and textual evidence that supports this view. We also address a polygamy advocate's objections to this interpretation.
Lessons from Paul’s visit to Athens (Acts 17:16-34)
During his second missionary journey, as Paul is passing through the city of Athens, he is allowed the opportunity to speak to the philosophers and Greek intellectuals there. Luke’s account in Acts 17:16-34 of what happened in Athens gives us some insights into how we might be effective witnesses for Yeshua when we interact with those who have very different beliefs from our own.
