Because of what’s at stake, the basics of our faith need to be heard over and over again.

True followers of Christ share a common faith. This faith is drastically different that what many professing Christians exhibit today. This message will examine what saving faith looks like.

This week we will be doing a recap of 1 Peter as we have completed our study of the book. We would love for you to join us as we read and sing through the Book of 1 Peter. The "Stand Firm" album is available FREE on the North Side app.

We stand best when we stand on the truth and we stand together.

As Peter concludes his letter, he reminds us of several truths that encourage us to stand firm in times of trouble.

Christ has entrusted his flock to certain men in the church who will give an account to God Himself for how they shepherded them. The heart of shepherding God’s flock, is feeding them the word of God.

For the Christian, pain and rejoicing are not mutually exclusive. We can and should experience them both at the same time.

For our Christmas Eve 2013 service, we continued in our 1 Peter series, “Stand Firm.” Christmas is the perfect opportunity to show those around us the love of Christ and hospitality sets the stage for it all to happen.

Our suffering is best dealt with when we prepare ourselves for it.

The gospel not only is the means to salvation, but it is also the encouragement we need to stand firm during times of suffering.
