10/9 Purified to Become Amazing

October 9, 2022 • Jason Swick • 1 Peter 1:22—2:10

What encouraging words Peter has for us today. Trials and suffering are part of life. Yet as Christians living in a non-Christian culture things can get even harder. Peter encourages us that we are being purified through our trials and suffering to become something amazing. I hope you are encouraged by these words of Peter that God loves you and that you can put away all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander and instead become living stones, a holy priesthood, a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, owned by God, and receiving mercy. All because of the blood of Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

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.

11/27 Hope Before All Else Fails

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

When all else fails, then what? What does our world have to offer? What does Jesus offer? Today we explore how Jesus offers the way of suffering…a way of blessing, hope, connection to God, a church family, and to himself. Will you repent as you consider where your false hope is?

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.
