1 Peter

Eternal Hope

November 19, 2023 • Justin Wellum • 1 Peter 5:6–14

As we come to the end of the book of 1 Peter, we are encouraged to remember the hope that we have in an eternity with Christ. We can trust God because he is sovereign over our past, present, and future.

Submit to Elders

November 12, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 5:1–5

Submitting to spiritual authority is a foreign and even controversial topic to discuss...but the New Testament teaches that Christians are too SUBMIT to their spiritual leaders. Those leaders are called ELDERS.

Suffering is 🔥

November 5, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 4:12–19

"We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world." - C.S. Lewis

Stop Sinning

October 29, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 4:1–11

When you suffer, you are to remember that Christ suffered. And when you are tempted to sin in order to avoid suffering, you are to remember that the end is near. Peter's main message in this passage: STOP SINNING!

Prepare to Suffer

October 22, 2023 • Eric Shelly • 1 Peter 3:13–22

What does "proclaiming to the spirits in prison" AND "baptism now saves you" mean? Well, the aren't the main point of the text, but join us as we try to figure it out!

Weaker Vessel

October 15, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 3:1–12

Peter uses some words and ideas that might be offensive to our modern sensibilities, but what did he mean in context, and what does that mean for us today? We're talking about marriage, and specifically how husbands and wives are to thrive together in their roles.

The Government

October 8, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 2:13–25

Peter tells us to submit to the governing authorities. How do we submit to the government when we disagree? What about when there’s so much about their lives, and their beliefs, and their policies, that we disagree with? What about when they don’t live up to their mandate? Or what if they start to do things that go against our beliefs?

The Battle

October 1, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 2:11–12

Peter uses the metaphor of war to talk about our battle with sin. How do we fight THE BATTLE? What are we fighting THE BATTLE for? And how will we even survive THE BATTLE?

Spiritual House

September 24, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 2:1–10

Why does the church sometimes seem to look more like a fixer upper rather than a spiritual house? Peter gives four compelling marks of the church that has Christ as the cornerstone!

Grow Up

September 17, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 1:22–25

How do you know if you've been BORN AGAIN? One thing that all newborns do is GROW UP. Peter shows us what the result is of the new birth: SPIRITUAL GROWTH!

Be Different

September 10, 2023 • Chris Martin • 1 Peter 1:13–21

Ever heard that Christians are to be IN the world...but not OF the world? What does that mean, and how are we to BE DIFFERENT as EXILES in this world?

Living Hope

September 3, 2023 • Kyle Knight • 1 Peter 1:1–12

What do you put your hope in? When the trails and sufferings of this world come, where do you find your hope? Peter reminds us that if we are in Christ we are not of this world and therefore, we have a Living Hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ that is alive and stronger than anything else we will find here in this world.
