Pastor Nate brings the message, "Freedom from Yourself” from 1 Peter 5:5-7.

As Peter begins the conclusion of his letter, he calls Christians to a very

important virtue: humility. In living humble lives we honor God, develop

essential healthy Christian relationships, and find freedom from self

absorption.

Pastor Muri brings the message, "A Life That is Holy and Pleasing to God"

from 2 Peter 3:14-18. On this 4th of July we look soberly toward the future

of our country. Paul warned that as time went on things would get worse and

worse, and that we should be lights in the gathering darkness. Today we

look at a man who stood where we stand, held his ground, and won the praise

of God and kings. This message is a word of encouragement and hope for

distressing times.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "What to Expect from Pastors” from 1 Peter

5:1-4. Since Pentecost, God has graciously gathered His people into local

churches for His glory. A major component of the church is the relationship

between pastors and the congregation. How should shepherds conduct

themselves in respect to the flock? And, what is the motivation for their

conduct? In this passage we study God’s exhortation to pastors.

Pastor Andy brings the message, "The Church: Two Distinguishing Badges.”

Ever been asked what your church is like, and replied by describing the

building and grounds, programs, and pastor? But…what is church? What are

the most important things? Pastor Andy gives us two badges from Scripture

that should distinguish a church.

Pastor Nate will bring the message, "Living Biblically in a LGBTQ + World"

from 1 Peter 4:1-4, 19. First Peter 4 taught us that followers of Christ

move away from worldly practices even if it means suffering and rejection.

In our society today we are experiencing the cultural agenda to promote

unbiblical sexuality and Christians are often challenged by the following

tension: how do we reject the practices and cultural agenda of unbiblical

sexuality, yet love individuals as God would have us?

Phil Hunt brings the message, “The Heart of God Toward Sinners” from Jonah

Chapter 1.

Pastor Nate brings this message from 1 Peter 4:12-19. Were you surprised

when the sun came up this morning? Or when the water came out of the

faucet? Or when the red light turned green on your way to work? We come to

expect those occurrences in everyday life. As Christians, God tells us to

expect suffering to come our way. How we should respond to that suffering

is what we will learn from this study.

Pastor Nate brought the message, "Living in the End Times” from 1 Peter

4:7-11. In this passage Peter explains how we live in the end times. For

Christians a priority must be placed on our relationship with the Lord and

with His people.

Pastor Nate brought the message, "Arm Yourself” from 1 Peter 4:1-11. How

are Christians to live in a world that increasingly grows hostile toward

them? Through Peter, God commands you to arm yourself with Christ's way of

thinking, trust Him with ultimate justice, and to be encouraged that you

have an alternate community, the church family, where love and

encouragement should be readily found.

Pastor Nate brought the message, "Suffering Under the Finished Work of

Christ" from 1 Peter 3:18-22. It is inevitable that Christians will suffer

for their faith in Christ. In countries around the world some will suffer

unto death, even today. Others will be cut off from family and friendships.

Christians will lose out on promotions, perhaps even a job. Yet we continue

to choose Christ, and this week Peter turns our attention to the finished

work of our Savior as a motivation to press on in our loyalty to Him.
