The Iowa Conference hosted the first planning session of The Daniel Project, designed to organize a group of spiritually motivated young people to reach their generation with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
The key verses are:
” … but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits [take action]. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many … And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them wait, until the time of the end …” Dan 11:32b–33, Dan 11:35
In the above passage, we see five great undertakings of faithful believers in the end times. To be accurate, this passage is speaking specifically of Jewish believers during the Tribulation Period. However, we have every reason to adapt it to these closing moments of the Church Age.

1st Peter #2

1st Peter #2

Outline: (1) Foreknowledge — the eternal plan of the Father, 1Pe 1:1 to 1Pe 2:10; (2) Sanctification — the transforming work of the Spirit, 1Pe 2:11 to 1Pe 3:12; (3) Obedience and Sprinkling — the fruit of faith in Christ, 1Pe 3:13 to 1Pe 5:11. "God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ought always to be blessed" (1Pe 1:3, 1Pe 2:9).  What God is doing in our lives is the envy of angels (1Pe 4:12). Reasons to praise God: (1) at our spiritual birth, we were born into a living hope (1Pe 1:3); (2) We have security that isn't dependent on us (1Pe 1:4-5); (3) for salvation we have revealed day by day - delivered from dead works (1Pe 1:5). Believing is a decision that receives "salvation" — deliverance in time (1Pet 1:9, Jam 1:21); (4) sustaining by the word of God.

These lessons were taught at the first annual Rocky Mountain Bible Conference in Spring 2009. First and Second Peter are grouped in what are called the General Epistles written to the church at large. The theme of First Peter is the refining and growth potential in our sufferings 1Pe 1:3 1Pe 1:6; 1Pe 2:2. This epistle was written to believers scattered by persecution throughout Asia Minor (1 Pe 1:1). The date was circa 64-65A.D. the beginning of Nero?s persecutions. First Peter is the best known and loved of these epistles called by E.J. Goodspeed ?One of the most moving pieces of persecution literature.? This epistle is written to suffering believers and is styled by Isaac Walton as ?affectionate loving lowly and humble?. This epistle conveys an intense expectation of the Lord?s return as seen in 1Pe 1:51Pe 1:71Pe 1:13; 1Pe 2:12; 1Pe 4:1317; 1Pe 5:14.
