Ever struggle with maintaining a godly attitude while at the workplace? You are not alone. Grumbling about work is probably on most people's "top ten" list of personal sins committed each week. In fact, it is probably so common for us that we no longer even recognize this as a sin, but simply as a part of accepted cultural expressions, like that Johnny Paycheck song. After all, aren't most bosses unfair? Is it really that big of a deal if I complain about my job? Interesting questions... let's find out together this Sunday as we look at 1 Peter 2:18-25.
I think the answers may include something you didn't quite expect!

Finally Back In 1 Peter!
After spending a few weeks reminding ourselves of the importance of both the Church of Christ and the Cross of Christ we are turning our attention back to our study of 1 Peter.
This Sunday we will zero in on this verse: "Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor." (1 Pet. 2:17)
What does this verse mean? And how does this relate to our attitude and behavior towards our fellow citizens... our government... or our president? Come find out - join us this Sunday as we humbly ask God to adjust our lives as we look again intently into His holy Word!
Read ahead to get ready: 1 Peter 2:13-17

Introducing Our Guest Speaker - Justin Childers
This Sunday (February 8th) my friend Justin Childers will be preaching at Servant's Heart Fellowship. Justin is the pastor of Christ Baptist Church in Wilson, NC. You can check out his church here and also find out more about Justin at his blog. Justin and his wife, Jeanna, have two children, Karis and Noah, and live in Wilson. We are excited about having them worship our glorious Savior with us this Sunday!
I had the privilege of speaking at the Surveying The Wondrous Cross conference last October with Justin and am regularly encouraged by his obvious passion for the cross.
Join us this Sunday this Sunday as we gaze upon the cross of Christ with increasing amazement, affection, and appreciation for our Savior.
