About this week's message: Our human tendency is to be all about ME & MINE. What God wants from us is to be about YOU and YOURS, Lord! Jesus sacrificed himself to show us how much we are worth to Him. God-glorifying worship involves sacrifice to demonstrate how much worth the Lord means to us.

This Week: Just as the moon is not the source of light, only the reflection of it, we are all mirrors and will reflect praise and worship upon something or someone. Each worship path leads to a throne. You’re going to give God’s breath to something or someone.

Key Phrase: “His worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24

This Series: 1 Peter is written to Gentile believers living in a hostile, pagan culture. Peter points believers to the HOPE they have in the midst of their suffering that is fueled by the HOPE of the return of Christ.

This Week: Peter closes his letter with a gentle admonition to church leaders. The lowest leverage of leadership is one’s title. Too often, ministry leaders “lord” over their ministry out of selfishness, pride, or arrogance. Instead, godly leadership humbly and lovingly serves the flock for God’s glory, not their own.

Key Phrase: “Eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you.” 1 Peter 5:3

This Week: Believers, especially today, need to stop worrying about the wicked and start looking at their own behavior and motives behind the behavior and live in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Suffering for righteousness is better than suffering for stupidity. It’s time for the “Church” to take a healthy check in the mirror!

Key Phrase: “For it is time for the judgment to begin with God’s household.” 1 Peter 4:17
