Stand Firm In Love /// Part 3

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Marc Neppl • 1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Corinthians 13:6, Ephesians 4:15, 1 Peter 1:22–25, John 13:34–35

Peter tells readers in 1 Peter to "love with brotherly love" because the word love was a buzzword used to describe feelings rather than commitments. He is saying to Love Sincerely which is more than affection. So how does truth affect how we show love or live out love? Can Truth inform us how to love and love well?

When The Fight Rages /// Part 13

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Marc Neppl • 1 Peter 5:6–14, Matthew 7:24–27

Have you ever tried to fight the ocean's current at the beach, without sinking your feet into the sand for stability? Or maybe you've watched a sport game unfold in a downpour, with players struggling to find their footing in the mud and snow? Today, we’re going to explore another powerful message in 1 Peter and connect it with Matthew 7:24-27. Just like those players need a solid foundation to stand firm against the elements, we, too, need our spiritual grounding to resist the forces at play around and within us.

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Marc Neppl • 1 Peter 5:1–5

Who is a leader that has blessed your life? Being honest with ourselves it is not going to be the President of our nation or some celebrity figure we have never met or talked to. Watching a video where a person shares promises for change or steps to attain wealth is not really blessing us. Leaders that have blessed your life have to have an integral part of the world around you. Leadership is a buzzword among Christian circles and in churches but what does God say about leadership?
