Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓In a world that runs on retaliation, outrage, and self-defense, Peter calls believers to something that looks almost impossible: bless those who mistreat you, speak gently to those who question you, and keep doing good even when it costs you. In this message from 1 Peter 3, we explore what it looks like for a community of people to be so shaped by the gospel that their response to suffering becomes their most powerful form of witness. Peter is not calling for passivity or silence. He is calling for a readiness to give a reason for the hope inside you, with gentleness and respect, trusting that a life marked by relational generosity will be harder to slander than to explain. At the center of it all is Jesus, who suffered not as a victim but as a substitute, the righteous for the unrighteous, and who now reigns over every power that once seemed to threaten him. If your faith has ever been questioned, mocked, or ignored, this message will give you both a challenge and a deep comfort.Who are we?

More Information ↓

Marriage is one of the most watched relationships in anyone's life, and Peter knew it. In this message from 1 Peter 3, we explore what it looks like when a husband and wife stop treating marriage as a personal arrangement and start seeing it as a public witness. Peter's words to wives and husbands were both radical in the first century, calling wives to the quiet power of Christlike character and calling husbands to a sacrificial, attentive honor that elevated women's dignity in a world that did not. Together, they paint a picture of marriage that mirrors the gospel itself, not a system of control or competition, but a living parable of grace. Whether you are married, hoping to be, or simply trying to understand what the Bible actually says about relationships, this message will challenge and encourage you. What happens in the home does not stay there. It testifies to everyone watching about what the grace of God looks like when it gets personal.

More Information ↓At some point, all of us will face a situation where we do the right thing and still get treated wrongly, where fairness never shows up and no one seems to notice the difference. In this message from 1 Peter 2, Peter speaks directly into that tension with one of the most countercultural commands in the New Testament: keep doing good anyway. Written to believers living under the reign of Nero, this is not a call to passive acceptance of injustice but a call to a kind of patient, visible faithfulness that becomes its own irrefutable witness. We will look at what it means to honor authority without surrendering conscience, to endure mistreatment without retaliating, and to find the strength for all of it in the example of Jesus, who absorbed the full weight of injustice without striking back and entrusted Himself to the God who judges rightly. If you are tired of doing the right thing and getting nothing for it, this message will not offer you easy answers, but it will point you to a Shepherd who has been there first.Who are we?

More Information ↓If you have ever felt like an outsider, overlooked, or like you do not quite belong anywhere, this message from 1 Peter 2 was written for you. Peter speaks to people who were genuinely marginalized and pressured by the culture around them, and instead of telling them to fight for acceptance, he reminds them of who they already are: living stones built into something far bigger than themselves, a chosen people who belong fully to God. We will look at what it means to let go of old habits like envy and deceit, to grow by feeding on God's Word the way a newborn craves milk, and to find an identity that does not depend on whether the world approves of you. Jesus is the cornerstone of that identity, precious to those who trust him and a stumbling block to those who do not, but either way, unshakeable. This message is an invitation to stop letting rejection define you and start living from the truth that you have already been chosen.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓Most people hear the word "holy" and picture a standard they could never reach, but Peter has something very different in mind. In this message from 1 Peter 1, we explore what it actually means to be called holy in a world that is pulling in every other direction, and why that call is less about perfection and more about belonging to a God who is unlike anything else in existence. We will unpack what the Bible calls sanctification, the ongoing process of being made more like Jesus, and what it looks like to live that out in real, practical terms: remembering the hope you have, knowing who you are in Christ, and letting that identity actually change the way you live. Whether you are just beginning to explore faith, feeling stuck in old patterns, or striving daily to grow, this message meets you where you are and points you toward the life God created you for. The fruit of the gospel is never just information. It is transformation.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓Most of us know what it feels like to place our hope in something that did not hold, a relationship, a plan, a season of life that looked promising and then came apart. In this message from 1 Peter 1, Peter writes to believers who are suffering and scattered, and his response is not a pep talk or a list of coping strategies. It is worship. Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, every follower of Jesus has been born into a hope that is not fragile, not dependent on circumstances, and not vulnerable to anything this world can throw at it. We will look at how real suffering and unshakeable hope can exist in the same life at the same time, why trials refine rather than disqualify our faith, and what it means to be part of a story so significant that prophets searched for it and angels lean in to catch a glimpse. If your hope has taken a hit lately, this message is an invitation to anchor it somewhere that will never give way.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓There is a tension at the heart of the Christian life that most of us feel but struggle to name: we are fully loved and chosen by God, and yet something about this world never quite feels like home. In this message from 1 Peter 1, we discover that this tension is not a problem to be solved but an identity to be embraced. Peter writes to scattered believers as "elect exiles," people chosen by God and placed in the world on purpose, not as a punishment but as a mission. We will explore what it means to hold both realities together without retreating from the world or blending into it, and why the church's greatest impact depends on living in that uncomfortable in-between space. If you have ever felt like a stranger in your own culture, this message will help you understand why, and what God intends to do with it.Who are we?
