Sunday Morning | December 8, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In this sermon from Pastor John's series 1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering, based on 1 Peter 3:18-22, believers are reminded of three reasons they are not alone in their suffering. First, Christ Himself suffered, as highlighted in 1 Timothy 3:16, enduring the ultimate pain to bring humanity to God. Second, Noah's story in Genesis 6:5 serves as an example of enduring faith in the midst of widespread wickedness and hardship. Finally, the message emphasizes that God is faithful to rescue those who trust Him, as seen in Hebrews 11:6-7 and James 1:21, offering hope and salvation to those who endure with steadfast faith. Together, these truths underscore the presence and faithfulness of God in the midst of suffering.

Sunday Morning | December 1, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In his sermon "When the Right Thing Goes Wrong," part of the series 1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering, Pastor John examines 1 Peter 3:13-17 to explore how Christians can navigate difficulties even when doing what is right. He begins with an assumption that suffering may follow righteousness, challenging believers to embrace it without fear. Next, he presents a two-part strategy: first, fearing the right things by placing reverence in God above human opposition, drawing from Isaiah 8:12, and second, being prepared to defend one’s faith with gentleness and respect. Finally, Pastor John highlights the motivation to endure, citing Romans 12:20 to remind us of the redemptive power of responding to adversity with goodness, which glorifies God and points others to Him.

In his sermon titled Taking the High Road, John C. Majors explored 1 Peter 3:8-12, urging believers to navigate suffering with joy by focusing on three key principles: growing in character, trusting their calling, and remembering their roots. He emphasized the importance of embodying virtues such as unity, sympathy, brotherly love, tenderness, and humility to reflect Christlike character in all relationships.

By doing so, Christians can take the high road, living faithfully and finding joy amidst trials.

In his sermon True Strength based on 1 Peter 3:7, John C. Majors challenges men to demonstrate genuine strength by understanding and honoring their wives. He begins by urging husbands to empathize with their wives, putting themselves in her shoes to better grasp her experiences and needs. Majors emphasizes honoring her unique design, likening her to a delicate vase that requires care and respect, while also celebrating the strength and resilience she embodies. Using illustrations like a Stanley tool, he highlights how husbands and wives are designed to complement each other, working together in harmony. Finally, he underscores the spiritual stakes, reminding men that failing to honor their wives can hinder their relationship with God, making this calling not just relational but deeply spiritual.

Sunday Morning | November 10, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In the sermon "When Relationships Change," based on 1 Peter 3:1-6, the focus is on how believers can honor God in their relationships, even when those relationships shift. First, believers are called to maintain a Christian order in their relationships, following Jesus' example of obedience and humility as seen in Luke 2:51. This order includes prioritizing inner character over outward appearance, as true beauty and witness come from a heart transformed by Christ. Quoting Karen Jobes, the sermon reminds us that "the witness of one’s life speaks loudly in every circumstance," underlining the powerful testimony of a godly life. The example of Sarah is given as a model of faithfulness and reverence, illustrating the lasting impact of a life committed to God’s principles, regardless of relational changes.

Sunday Morning | November 3, 2024 | Troy Kolb | Louisville, KY

In his sermon, Elder Troy Kolb emphasizes that Jesus always provides what we need, even if it differs from what we think we need, because He knows us better than we know ourselves. He illustrates this with the story of the Syrophoenician woman who begged Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Although Jesus initially appeared reluctant, her faith and persistence revealed her deep trust in Him, and Jesus ultimately healed her child. Through this story and others, including the healing of the deaf and mute man, Kolb demonstrates that Jesus’ responses may sometimes challenge us but are always rooted in His profound love and understanding of our true needs. This message encourages us to trust God’s wisdom, knowing we are, as Tim Keller said, "more loved and accepted than we ever dared to hope," and that, like Paul with his "thorn in the flesh," our weaknesses reveal Christ’s strength within us.

Sunday Morning | October 27, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

Pastor John's sermon on 1 Peter 2:18-25 addresses the Christian call to live faithfully in the workplace, even under difficult and unjust leadership. Drawing from Miroslav Volf's insight, he explains that following Christ’s example of submission and sacrifice has historically been more transformative in changing societal structures than rebellion or revolution. We are called to model Christ in our workplace behavior by focusing on truth, avoiding retaliation, trusting God's justice, dying to sin, and remembering that Christ has rescued us. These principles, rooted in Isaiah 53, provide a roadmap for enduring hardship with grace, reflecting Christ's redemptive work.

Sunday Morning | October 20, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In his sermon based on 1 Peter 2:13-17, Pastor John urges believers to "be subject" to authority for two main reasons: to honor Christ and to silence foolish people who criticize them. Emerson Eggerichs notes that valuing independence over submission can hinder personal growth and wisdom. To be subject means to embrace the mindset of a slave to righteousness, aligning oneself with God's will. When it comes to voting, Christians are encouraged to do their best without endorsing specific candidates or making politics their ultimate concern. Instead, politics should foster connection, not division, and believers should walk in joy, not fear.
