If God is so good, then why...

1 Peter: Week 1

April 7, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • 1 Peter 1:1–9

Sometimes it can be hard to see how good God is when our circumstances are not. How are we supposed to live and look to the world when we claim Jesus but in our situations we find it hard to trust in Him? Join us this week as we begin a new Series: 1 Peter. Following Jesus does not mean the absence of trials and hard times. We may suffer, but because of Jesus, it's only temporary. As God allows trials to build and purify our faith we have hope for eternity.

Don't Waste Your Life

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • 1 Peter 4:1–11

What would you do if you had 12 hours until Jesus returned? How would you spend your time? How do you spend your time day to day? Is it talking about Jesus, sharing the Gospel? Tune in this week as we continue in the Book of 1 Peter. We read how we are to live our life and spend our time and it all starts with our mind! The more time we spend in the Word and with God, the more we have our armor to battle sin.

How To Get Even When You’re Hurt

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • John 13:35, 1 Peter 3:8–18

As followers of Jesus, we're called to radical love and unity. Our love proves we're His disciples. Too often, we're known more for who we're against than how we love. But God calls us to repay evil with blessings, turn from evil, do good, and seek peace. He calls evil people to become His children through our love. Spiritual maturity is loving God, understanding His love for us, and sharing that love with others. Even if we suffer for doing good, we're blessed. The gospel spreads as we endure suffering to do good, as Christ did. By loving radically, we lead "haters" to meet Him. Watch the full sermon now and learn how to get even when hurt.
