Drippings from the Honeycomb: The sweetness of God’s Word one verse at a time.
Do you think the Bible is boring? King David, in one of his psalms, said the Scriptures were so sweet they were like "drippings from the honeycomb." Perhaps it's time that we take a few minutes out of our busy lives and look at the Bible through fresh eyes! Join us on a weekly journey to find these "sweet drippings" as we walk through the books of the Bible by studying selected key verses through which we can glimpse the whole theme of each book! We will look at stories you might not have heard before, talk about the real people and places behind each of these verses, see how one verse can connect to many others across the entire Bible, and learn to see the beauty of God's sovereign plan which is woven through every page of His Word.

An Uncomfortable Promise (1 Peter 4:12-13)
Enjoying the Show? Drop us line!
Let’s be honest: humans love to be comfortable. We strive for comfort by building comfortable homes, comfortable vehicles, and comfortable furniture. We love to come home at the end of the day and trade in our work clothes in favor of comfortable clothes. We like to be comfortable in our jobs, relationships, and community. In fact, we do just about everything we can to avoid being uncomfortable.
However, what if being uncomfortable is exactly what we need? What if God sometimes calls us into uncomfortable situations because He knows that is what will be best for us? How should we respond to being uncomfortable? What should we do when we see other brothers and sisters in Christ who have been called into an uncomfortable position by God?
In this episode, we will consider an uncomfortable promise from God’s Word that will impact all of our lives. We can be sure of it! Peter knew that this reality would affect his churches, and so he wrote to them to encourage them to embrace the uncomfortable times that would come upon them.
