SJLC Sermons

Our reading this Sunday is particularly interesting, as Peter asks “Now what?

I do. Let’s explore that question together in worship this Sunday.

Cabin fever. You know what I mean by that, right? Over the next four weeks, we are going to dive into 1 Peter, a brilliant, short letter written to people who were struggling for one reason or another.

“But we had hoped...”

 

The Easter season brings with it raw and real stories of people just like you and me trying to make sense of what a resurrected Jesus means for the world.
