Our Goal This Year

September 5, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 2 Peter 3:17–18

As we move past summer into fall, it's a great time to set new goals. Peter has a goal that we as a church want everyone to consider this year.

Preparing for Eternity

Is preparing for something big difficult to do sometimes? What if that 'something' is where you're going for eternity?

Counterfeit Christianity

August 22, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 2 Peter 2

It would be nice if false teachers looked or dressed a certain way so we could stay away, but that's not the case. But Peter helps us out by giving us some 'signs' to look for in 2 Peter 2.

It's A True Story

August 15, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 2 Peter 1:12–21

How do we know the Christian story is a true story or that the Bible can be trusted? Peter gives his best defence in 2 Peter 1:12-21.

Knowing and Growing in Jesus

When Suffering Surprises You

July 25, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 1 Peter

Most of us balk at the thought of suffering. We think it’s a sign of punishment from God or we attribute it to living in a broken world. But Peter encourages us to rejoice in suffering. How could he say that?

What Makes a Christian Different Than A Non-Christian

Relationship Goals

July 4, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 1 Peter

The Goal of LIfe

June 27, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 1 Peter, 1 Peter 2

How do you know you're living a life worthy of being called good... that the decisions you're making are right? How should we respond to authority with whom we disagree? 1 Peter 2:12 gives us the goal of life.

What's So Special About Church?

June 20, 2021 • Andrew Melo • 1 Peter, 1 Peter 2

What's the big deal with church? Do I really need it? In this passage, Peter explains what makes the church so special.

Time to Grow Up
