Bro. Jeff focuses on the attack by Peter on the Roman soldier, the response by Jesus, and the lessons we can learn from it.

Evidence of backslidden believers is found in their questioning the goodness and justice of God. Using Malachi’s prophetic message from God, Bro. Jeff challenges us to self-examination; do we have a correct view of the holy, righteous, loving God?
