1 Peter - Creekside Community Church

Ending at Trust

August 22, 2021 • Steve Gregg • 1 Peter 5:6–14

“They meant it for evil but…” Peter explains that opposition to Jesus it’s not an unusual thing. The amazing thing is that God uses it for his glory and our good.

Shepherding The Flock

August 15, 2021 • Steve Lammers • 1 Peter 5:1–5

While Peter exhorts the Elders in the church to be like Christ, the Chief Shepherd, we see how we can honor God in having Christ-like humility in submission to elders as they are tasked with caring for the Flock.

Unsurprised

August 8, 2021 • Steve Gregg • 1 Peter 4:12–19

“They meant it for evil but…” Peter explains that opposition to Jesus it’s not an unusual thing. The amazing thing is that God uses it for his glory and are good.

VBS Sunday 2021 | Destination Dig

August 1, 2021 • Gianluca Cueva • Jeremiah 29:10–14

For this summer's VBS Sunday, we take a (partial) break from our Living as Exiles series for a message on part of the letter that the Prophet Jeremiah writes to the exiles of Israel living in Babylon, focusing on the faithfulness of the Lord.

The End Is Near

July 25, 2021 • Steve Gregg • 1 Peter 4:7–11

Peter’s End Times To-Do list. Peter writes to let the church know what Jesus wants them to be doing when He returns. It’s not what we typically think of.

Suffering with a Purpose

July 18, 2021 • Steve Gregg

How should we live in the midst of reviling and other hardships? Peter encourages the church to live our lives in peace and love despite the temptation to return fire with fire.

Courageous Lifestyles in Exile

July 11, 2021 • Gianluca Cueva

Peter finishes addressing the household by encouraging wives and husbands. What kind of marriage is he calling them to have while in exile?

Servants in Exile

July 4, 2021 • Gianluca Cueva

Peter shifts from the public square to the household. He asks believers to follow in the steps of their Savior, but who's the prime example among them?

Exiles in the Public Square

June 27, 2021 • Gianluca Cueva

After reaffirming his hearer's identity as "sojourners" and "exiles", Peter begins to teach them what being exiles in the public square look like, namely: submitting for the Lord's sake. But what does that look like? Peter spends time explaining

Life in Exile

June 20, 2021 • Steve Lammers

Christians should not expect to feel at home where we are. Rather, we are to live lives honoring to God as his ambassadors on this earth, foreigners from the Kingdom of Heaven, where our true acceptance and citizenship can be found.

A Holy Nation

June 13, 2021 • Eric Olson

Jesus is the living cornerstone of our faith and the Church. The passage today reveals the ways in which we must walk with God in holiness, not by our own power but by the work of the Holy Spirit and by the love of Him who called for himself a Holy Nation, a people for his own possession.

Motive to Godliness

June 6, 2021 • Eric Olson

Having established the believer’s new identity in Christ Jesus, Peter now begins to explore the implications of being elect exiles – that believers are called to be holy, for the Lord God is holy. This is not moralistic teaching, though; it is the natural outcome of being “in Christ.”

Beloved Outsiders

May 30, 2021 • Steve Gregg

Peter writes to a group of Christians who are facing increasing opposition and reminds them that the Grace they have received in Christ will allow them to stand firm.

Pentecost and the Birth of the Church

May 23, 2021 • Steve Gregg

Before Peter ever wrote to the churches in Asia minor, he spoke on the day of Pentecost when the church was born. The work that God started the day is still going on in his churches and Peter‘s letter intends to remind them (and us) of that blessed hope.
