Scripture: 1 Peter 1:17-25

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

This world is not our home. Life is a journey with its ups and downs. So Peter reminds us that while we are here, we are to LOVE one another. And all of it is God’s plan from the beginning of creation.

Scripture: 1 Peter: 1:10-16

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

What is a Christian? Peter turns to history to understand the present and the future. In the past, God spoke to his people in many ways. For Peter and for us, God speaks through his son, Jesus Christ. “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Scripture: I Peter 1:3-9

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

Jesus did not promise us a simple, joyous, happy life. What he did promise is our salvation. It is available to us through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Scripture: Psalm 13

Speaker: Dick Wright

Why do bad things happen to good people? An age-old question. Let’s turn to the scriptures for the answer.

Scripture: Colossians 2:6-10

Speaker: Rev. Carla Stengel

Scripture: I Peter 1:1-3

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

Life is difficult, but as long as we stand firm in our belief in Jesus Christ, we will prevail.

Scripture: Luke 9:51-62

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

We can all make excuses for not following Jesus 100%. We have responsibilities to our family. We have an employer to please. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. But when we are all in for Jesus, our lives are better for it. After all, Jesus gave his all for us.

Scripture: Luke 10:25-37

Speaker: Mr. Richard Wright

We Christians are often in situations where our response to the circumstances of life will be seen or heard by others. At that point we are witnessing to our faith whether we know it or not. The question is, what message are we sending?

Scripture: Acts 2:1-21

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

On Pentecost we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles of Jesus Christ. God was giving birth to a new movement—the church.

Scripture: Acts 1:1-11

Speaker: Rev. Gus Christo-Baker

Jesus knew the Apostles’ success depended on the presence of the Holy Spirit. They were called to witness to the world. We too are called to witness—are you ready?
