As followers of Christ, we are all chosen by Him. We’re set apart from the world – we’re meant to be holy! Today Pastor John will talk with you about what this means – how you can live a holy life! It’s not just for you either – the entire body of Christ is built up by each member living this chosen, distinct walk of faith. And it won’t be easy – there’s so much in this world to distract you! Yet no matter the difficulty, it is possible, with God’s help! Lean on the Word, the guidance of spiritual leaders, and the Holy Spirit to help you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 as he continues his message God’s Privileged People.

God is still working in this world! He sent His Son to bring a new opportunity for life and freedom through repentance and grace, but that wasn’t the end. From that living cornerstone comes the Church – the group of believers that stretches across the globe. Today Pastor John will share how God is continuing to build this community, and how people are still coming to know him and be changed by him every day! If you follow Jesus, you too are part of this Church – you have a community to help you grow and thrive!

Sin separates you from God. That’s just the nature of it – God is perfect, and sin is keeping us from Him. It’s easy to see sin in things like murder, adultery and breaking laws. But what about the hidden sin? If you’re good enough and don’t reveal what you’ve done wrong, will you still be separated from God? Pastor John will answer that today – and the answer is YES. God sees your sin. But He’s given you another option – He’s given His Son, who took care of that. What will you do with Jesus?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 as he continues his message Jesus Our Rock.

Did you know that there’s a theme for the entire Bible? All 66 books, Old and New Testament, have a common theme running through them, and Pastor John just told you what that was…JESUS! In today’s message, you’ll be hearing a lot about the Son of God who came to die for your sins. You’ll discover that He’s the rock of your life, and the only one you should rely on fully. He will never disappoint you – He’s always there for you, ready to comfort, strengthen, and guide you along your faith journey!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 as he begins his message Jesus Our Rock.

Do you want to know more about God? That’s something that Pastor John will be talking about in today’s message – a growing desire to discover all you can about your Creator. But how can that be attained? Pastor John has some answers today for you, and one of them – perhaps the biggest one – is that you need to spend time in the Word! The Bible is spiritual food for you – it nourishes you and gives you what you need to grow! Scripture instructs you and comforts you and helps you crave it more and more!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 as he continues his message It’s Time To Grow Up.

Pastor John will be telling you in today’s message that you need to grow in your faith! And to do that, you need to walk away from sin. You can’t expect to keep your current lifestyle when you become a Christian – those things that you repent from must be ousted from your life! Don’t keep coming back to the same mistakes, and expect to have your faith growing. Exchange that time for time in the Word, and time spent getting to know your Father through prayer!

Do you have masks that you put on in life? These probably aren’t physical paper mâché face coverings, but it could be a particular attitude or way of living that you adopt in certain situations. When that “mask” comes off, though, who are you underneath? Today Pastor John will remind you that as a follower of Christ, you need to be consistent in how you are in society. Don’t be one person at church and a completely different person at home or work! Follow Jesus, ALWAYS!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he continues his message Love One Another.

The word “love” can have a variety of meanings and applications. As Pastor John will share in his message today, all of them are important, and Jesus demonstrated all of them. And Jesus is calling you to do the same! You’ve already learned what His love did for you when He went to the cross – now it’s your turn! Today you’ll discover what putting others ahead of yourself means and what it looks like from a practical point of view. Today’s a great day to show some love!

It’s hard to follow Christ completely. You may be submitted to Jesus in most of your life, but there may be that one thing you’re unwilling to let go of! It could be your money, family, or plans for the future – whatever area it is; Pastor John will encourage you today to place it on the altar. Take what you so desperately want to control and hand it to Jesus – and then do it again tomorrow if needed! Don’t worry, though – Jesus has a much better handle on your life than you ever could!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he continues his message The Wonder of Redemption.
