Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer Isaiah

Isaiah 40: The Comfort of God’s Grace

This passage was made famous by George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, “Comfort Ye My People,” the second piece heard in Part I. In this recitative, God gives comfort and promises salvation.

Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer 1 and 2 Peter (With Jude)

1 Peter 4: Manifold Grace of God

There are three basic things Peter emphasized in this passage for you and I to do as we interact with each other: pray, love fervently, and make our hospitality cheerful. And there is one thing God calls you and me to stop doing: living in the identity we used to have before we came to Christ.
