Dr. Eckman leads in-depth discussion of how we are free in Christ, specifically freedom from the bondage of sin. He also details 4 factors in a life of such freedom, as written by Peter.

Peter continues his call of submission to God, bringing order, stability, and good spiritual health, which truly frees the believer to live a rich & fulfilling life.

Peter reminds us of who we are because of Jesus: a chosen people, part of the royal priesthood & a Holy Nation, and belonging to a new Family. This brings about change & transformation into a life of submission to Him.

Peter is laying out that in the New Covenant, we are the new Temple & the new Priests, plus excellent side discussion on ‘human responsibility’ vs ‘divine sovereignty’.

Peter shares more of God’s intent in redeeming us: today’s discussion focuses around living a Life of Love.

Peter encourages believers to conduct themselves in reverence to God, and to see people the way God sees them.

Peter defines a lifestyle of Salvation, describing & discussing a life of Hope & Holiness for those who accept & believe in Christ.

Peter shares more of God’s plan for Salvation, emphasizing how the prophets of the Old Testament were laboring not for themselves, but for future generations — including us today.

Dr. Eckman begins a new study of 1st Peter: Peter affirms & reinforces that our Hope is a living Hope for life because of Jesus, and there is an imperishable, undefiled, unfading inheritance for every one who puts their faith in Christ.

Dr. Eckman wraps up our study of the Book of Jude, including a concise summary to all Believers for living the Christian Life.
