Packinghouse Podcast

We kick off 2 Peter with a practical, hope-filled look at what real Christian growth looks like. Peter opens by calling Jesus “our God and Savior,” then prays that grace and peace would be multiplied to us “in the knowledge” (epignosis—lived, experiential knowing) of the Lord. From there, we learn that God’s divine power has already given us everything we need for life and godliness and has loaded us with “exceedingly great and precious promises” so we can share in His nature and escape the world’s corruption. In response, Peter calls us to make every effort—adding to faith: virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. This message unpacks grace vs. effort (not to be saved, but because we are), how to grow on purpose, and why keeping our eyes on Jesus keeps us from being unfruitful or forgetful of what He’s done. Includes a closing invitation to trust Christ.

In Acts 2, Peter answers “What is this?” by opening Joel and the Psalms: Jesus is crucified, risen, and Lord, and the promised Spirit is poured out. The gifts are for reaching people—Word-anchored, self-controlled, and fueled by love—not hype. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”: repent (change your mind), be baptized, and receive power to witness.

1 Peter 5:8-14 | Pastor Rick

Pastor Rick wraps up his series on 1 Peter by reminding believers that the Christian life is a battle not against flesh and blood but against unseen spiritual forces. Drawing on Peter’s call to “be sober, be vigilant,” he outlines how the devil prowls like a “roaring lion” seeking to derail our faith—and shows us how to stand firm with the armor of God, clear self-talk seasoned by Scripture, and a fixed gaze on our eternal hope in Christ. Far from leaving us to fight alone, Peter points us back to the “God of all grace” who promises to perfect, strengthen and settle us through every trial. In this message, Pastor Rick invites listeners to resist fear and doubt, cling to the unshakable foundation of Jesus, and lift up worship to the One who holds the ultimate dominion and know that Jesus has the last word.

Romans 9:1-8 | Pastor Ed

In this message Pastor Rick explores Romans 9 by tracing five “tipping points” in God’s unfolding plan—Abraham’s call, Isaac’s birth, Jacob’s chosen role, Pharaoh’s hardened heart and, ultimately, the coming of Christ. Each example shows that God’s promises rest not on human effort, heritage or merit but on His sovereign mercy and purpose. The heart of the sermon invites us to stop relying on our own righteousness, to trust God’s gracious calling, and to build our lives on the unshakable foundation of Jesus, through whom the promise is open to all who believe.
