Give Yourself a Fighting Chance

September 10, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • 1 Peter 5:5–14

Life is hard. Life without Christ is even harder. Pastor Ivey brings us to 1 Peter where we learn how to fight life's hardest battles. This week's message will help you defeat pride, the devil, and despair and challenge you to live out humility, victory, and joy. And some of the solutions are pretty unexpected. Watch this week for help in living a successful Christian life.

The Time is Short

September 3, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • 1 Peter 4

Many in the early church assumed that Jesus was returning in their lifetimes. Perhaps, they were surprised when he did not. The fact remains that he could return at any time. How should Christians live their lives in light of Jesus' imminent return? This week Pastor Ivey brings us to 1 Peter 4, where Peter shows us what a life anticipating Christ's return should look like.

Shade in the Heat

August 27, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • 1 Peter 3:8–22

Peter writes this letter as an encouragement to the churches of Asia Minor. Essentially he is saying that no matter how bad things get in this life, you have a heavenly Father waiting to receive you home in the next. We know this because Christ faced the heat of this world and was welcomed home, and one day so will we. So, Christians should live righteously and courageously today in anticipation of that day. It is this eternal perspective that gives us relief in the midst of the heat.
