Life during the pandemic can feel like an endless and never ending period of time. Peter writes this letter to believers who are scattered and feeling the weight of trials. He gives them hope by showing them their promises, high calling and ultimate destination. 

What is God's calling for his people in our society today? Does God simply want us to have a private faith and to offer up trivial sacrifices? Micah tells us that God wants our undivided mind, our unreserved love and our unconditional obedience.

Jesus had a series of seven "I Am" statements in the Gospel of John. When Jesus declares he is the Good Shepherd he tells us about his character and his commitment to care for his often scattered sheep.
