This is Jenny Allen, and you are listening to the Made for This Podcast.

Today's passage is Firstst Peter chapter 4 verses 7 through 11. The end of all

things is at hand therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your

prayers.

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly,

since love covers a multitude of sins.

Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's

varied grace.

Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God, whoever serves as one who serves by the strength

that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.

To Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever, amen.

microphone out into the world. I am talking to you today because probably you

just raised your hand. Like probably if you were being sincere about how you feel about your life you're stressed.
