Peter’s first epistle ends with personal greetings and an exhortation to stand firm in the faith.

Having more of anything – wealth, control, or power – fails to satisfy. Solomon points to the only thing that can bring true satisfaction: enjoying God and trusting Him with every aspect of life.

Belshazzar and the rapid succession of kings emphasize God’s ongoing sovereignty over rulers, their reigns, and their lives.

Peter instructs the flock on how to handle hard circumstances well.

Jesus continues to call us higher because He wants you fully free and full of life. Lust, divorce, and oaths are examples of a sickness that if not addressed, can run or ruin your life. Instead of offering a temporary fix to a deeply rooted issue, Jesus wants to get to the cellular level, so we may experience abundance in Him.

Solomon laments the disorder in relationships with others, work, and God and points to the fruitfulness of accountability and worshipful obedience.

God-given dreams and visions carry immediate and future implications and show that God remains fully sovereign over Nebuchadnezzar and his kingdom.

Considering how the time of the end is rapidly approaching, Peter urges believers to love and serve one another.

Continuing through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains what it looks like to live a righteous life. He dives into various topics that relate to the state of our heart and what needs to be progressively worked out within us. Jesus begins this section by explaining how unresolved anger can lead to a ruined life. Who we are on the inside produces who we are on the outside, so Jesus encourages us to seek reconciliation.
