Genuine Faith | Marriage

Sunday, June 22, 2025

Jordan Weeks

1 Peter 3:1-7

Marriage is God’s idea. He directed it to be between a man and a woman, who are very different from one another. It is in this union where we learn mutual submission, honour, and beauty that is internal and eternal.

Genuine Faith | Authority

Brian Stegner 

1 Peter 2:13-25

First century Rome was not kind to Christians, yet Peter is writing that all followers are to be subject to certain human institutions for the sake of the Lord. We are free to submit in honour and love to those who are even unjust. It is how we honour authority that speaks to how we understand Jesus being Lord of all. And Jesus understood clearly what it meant to suffer unjustly, which ultimately was for our salvation.

Genuine Faith | His Community

Geoff Wright

1 Peter 2:4-12

The people of God exist because of Jesus and for Jesus. We are living stones in His building, of which He is the cornerstone. We are a royal priesthood that is meant to go and tell of the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness. As His community, we build one another up as well as invite others who are not yet His people and have not yet tasted mercy.

Peter Smith 

1 Peter 1:13-2:3

Since we are children of God, we are now equipped by the Spirit to live differently that we previously did. This holy conduct is not intended to be lived in a vacuum but in front of a world that does not yet know the beauty of what God has done.

Genuine Faith | Hope

Sunday, May 25, 2025

Jordan Weeks

1 Peter 1:1-12

Peter helps us see the overwhelming hope that followers of Jesus have despite the circumstances that might be going on around us. As elect exiles, they need to root their faith in who God is and what He has done, which He has been promising since the beginning.

Genuine Faith | Who are Peter & Jude?

Brian Stegner

Sunday, May 18, 2025

John 21:15-19; Mark 3:31-35

There is much known about Peter in the Bible. Not much is known about Jude. As we spend the next several months hearing from these two figures, it would be important to know who they are and why they would write what they did.

Questioning the Resurrection | Resurrection Changes Everything

Sunday, May 11, 2025

Tim Hull

Matthew 28:18-20

The resurrection is not merely a fact to be considered, but an invitation to participate in the resurrection life of Christ. Jesus is also clear about what transpires in the lives of those who refuse to receive what He has offered.

Questioning the Resurrection | Stepping Into the Resurrection

Sunday, May 4, 2025

Brian Alton

1 Corinthians 15:17

The resurrection is not merely a fact to be considered, but an invitation to participate in the resurrection life of Christ. Jesus is also clear about what transpires in the lives of those who refuse to receive what He has offered.

Resurrection Reshapes History

Sunday, April 27, 2025

Jordan Weeks

Luke 24:44-46

The resurrection is the linchpin of all history. Remove it and we meander into meaninglessness. But if we keep it, then we must wrestle with the implications it makes upon what we see in the world. As we look at the story of the Bible, it becomes very clear that the resurrection was intentional.

Doubting the Resurrection

Sunday, April 20, 2025

Peter Smith

Matthew 28:16-17

As Christians gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we know that some gather with lots of doubts. So did the first disciples of Jesus. They had questions about how the impossible could take place and what it meant for them. Tune in as we begin a series exploring a life redefined by the resurrection of Jesus.
