10/30 Words Make a Difference

October 30, 2022 • Jason Swick • 1 Peter 3:8–17

Words are powerful things. They create action, stop things from happening and can lead to both blessing and curse. Peter has strong words for the ways we speak and act both within the church and in our communities so that we resemble God and lead people into a relationship with our missional God.

12/4 Who Will I Become?

December 4, 2022 • Jason Swick • 1 Peter 5, 1 Corinthians 1:22–25, John 13:34–35

Today we begin with a great question; who will I become? Based on how you lived last week & what you plan to do this week, who will you become? Will you become an elder like Peter talks to in this passage? Why not? Will you grow toward Jesus or not? What stands in your way? Maybe you need to remember or meditate on one of these characteristics of God and how He can transform you. A God you can trust in.

November 27, 2022 • Jason Swick • 1 Peter 4:12–19

11/20 Glorify God in Your Life

November 20, 2022 • Jason Swick • 1 Peter 3:18—4:11

Peter views the suffering of Jesus and the judgement of the flood as an archetype of baptism and a call to a transformed life. Baptism is the beginning of new life with new values, new relationships, new attitudes that lead to a clear conscience as we walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We hope you spend time with the words of Peter and consider your own life trajectory and how God is calling you to live for Him.
