RBC Pulpit Podcast

Pastor Rusty starts a New Four Week Series about Who is Jesus. In this sermon, we focus on that fact that Jesus was God. Fully God, Fully Man: as you have likely heard it said. This means that Jesus was more than merely a good teacher or as some pseudo-Christian religions claim, the brother of Lucifer, he was God. He had to be just that so he could bore our sins on the cross and be resurrected, which is the hope that Christians have all over the world.

In Today's Sermon, Pastor Rusty challenges us through the 1 Peter 5:8 to always be on the lookout for the enemy or adversary. We might also call the enemy Satan. The world has made a caricature of Satan, depicting him as in all red, carrying a pitchfork and wearing red spandex. However, this depiction is deceiving as the scripture describes Satan as one who will camouflage himself really well. Pastor Rusty reminds us that we need to be very vigilant in regards to protecting ourselves, children and grandchildren as this enemy wants to steal, kill and destroy and will stop at nothing to do just that.

In this sermon Pastor Rusty uses 1 Peter 5:7 to remind us that we should cast our anxiety (cares, worries) onto Jesus. Not just some of our anxiety but all of our anxiety unto Him. 

Scripture References:

Pastor Rusty brings us a message from 1 Peter 5:5-6 and how we are called to be humble.

One of our Deacon's, Mark Weber, is leading a Sunday Night Bible Teaching through John MacArthur's book Twelve Ordinary Men and since we have been working through the Book of 1st Peter, Pastor Rusty thought it would be good for the congregation to hear about Simon Peter in more detail. Mark talks about Peter and how that Jesus renamed him from Simon to Peter, and how that when Peter would revert back to his old self he would call him Simon. Words of wisdom from Mark as he challenges us to be more like Peter and not like Simon.
