So Jesus said, if you really want to be a disciple, what is the first qualification?

He said what?

Deny yourself.

That's very hard for any one of us.

Because we all like attention.

You know what the word deny means?

It means to forget about one's desires.

It's not about you. It's not about you.

It's not about me.

It's about him.

I am falling.

I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling to have you with us.

Welcome to Somebody Lives You Radio, the Bible teaching ministry of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

Well, we are glad to have you with us today as Roll returns to First Peter to examine the promise of

Jesus' return in the clouds.

You know, it's easy to get caught up in life's daily struggles and demands and take your

eyes off of heaven, but today you'll be inspired to keep

Christ at the center of all you do. Stay with us for encouragement to stay focused on Jesus,

awaiting his coming, while pointing others to his love through the witness of your life.

Now with today's study, here's Roll Rees. Let's go back and read just for a second, 1 Peter chapter 4 from verses 1 to 6,

and we'll pick up verse 7 tonight.

Pretty incredible what Peter says here.
