In this lesson, Aaron Cozort explores the themes of authority, suffering, and the nature of the kingdom of Christ as presented in 1 Peter. He emphasizes the importance of understanding Christ's authority over all, the distinction between the church and the kingdom, and the necessity of arming oneself with the mind of Christ to navigate suffering and temptation. The discussion culminates in the transformative power of the gospel, which brings newness of life to believers.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Opening Prayer01:17 Authority of Christ05:49 Extent of Christ's Kingdom12:19 Judgment and Accountability20:41 Suffering and the Mind of Christ31:14 Living for God vs. Worldly Desires39:34 The Gospel and Newness of Life
