Burden & Blessing

June 26, 2022 • Andrew Clark • 1 Peter 3:8–17

Give

If we suffer for doing good, we are blessed, but if we suffer for doing evil, we are burdened. How do we walk in light of God’s calling on our life when things get hard?

God's Grace and Our Response

August 21, 2022 • Joel Maginnis • 1 Peter 5:12–14

God's grace is a multifaceted characteristic. The Apostle Peter commands us to stand firm in the grace. God's grace invites and commands our obedience by reminding us who we are, what we should expect as Christians and what our responsibility is as the body of Christ.

The Hidden Life

August 14, 2022 • Andrew Clark • 1 Peter 5:6–11

Are we truly humble? Are we like Jesus? We have a choice before us: we can pursue to the hidden life of God, resting and waiting under his mighty hand, or we can pursue the outer life and all of the prestige the world offers. Only one leads to true life, but will we have the humility to follow Jesus and receive his rest?

Leading & Following

August 7, 2022 • Andrew Clark • 1 Peter 5:1–5

All true leadership is about service to others, and in the church, this is the calling for those who shepherd God’s people as we imitate Jesus himself. Pastors are to submit themselves to the leadership of Christ first, and then steward the flock that belongs to God through their service. Finally, all of us are called to lead ourselves, clothing ourselves in humility towards one another as we pursue the way of Jesus together.
