Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

On Good Friday, we gathered to remember Jesus’ death on the cross for the forgiveness of sin. Today, on Easter, we gather to rejoice in Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. To that end, we will sing, recite the Apostles Creed, read Scripture, and consider where deep, solid joy is found from 1 Peter 1:3-9. He is risen!

Media, One Another'ing, Sermons | by Pastor Russ Collins

We continue our One Another’ing sermon series, which looks at the countercultural character of Jesus’ church, through the 50+ “one another” commandments. We are empowered by the gospel to love one another, to serve, to encourage, to forgive, to disciple, to pray, to show hospitality to one another, and much more. Today, we’ll look at the apostle Peter’s exhortation to serve one another.

Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate his climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In light of Jesus’ resurrection, what does it mean for us to be “born again”? In 1 Peter 1:3-5, we consider what this new birth means, why it is necessary for salvation, and what difference it makes in the lives of Jesus’ people.

Bible Reading, Media, New Year Essentials 2020, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we are beginning a set of annual sermons we refer to as our new year essentials. These sermons address subjects and important themes that we must repeatedly return to for the glory of God and the transformation of our inner and outer lives. These are not, of course, the same sermons. Rather, they are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again-and-again. We begin our our series by considering the significant difference it makes to read the bible to savor, not only see.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Luke Davis

Today in 1 Peter 5:6-14 we wrap up our series through the first epistle by the Apostle Peter. His aim throughout the letter has been to declare the true grace of God and have the church resolutely stand therein. However, God’s kindness to us may look quite different than we expect. As a good Father, though, He cares for us and is intent upon His children gaining His perspective so we might persevere.

Church Polity, 1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. In 1 Peter 5:1-5, Peter nears the end of his letter and directs his attention to the elders of the local churches to whom he writes. Jesus’ local churches will only be as healthy as its leaders. So, he gives six emphatic exhortations that are just as relevant today as when they were first written.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter offers his last major call to endure suffering for Jesus’ sake with faith-filled hope. Following Jesus can be a costly calling, so don’t be surprised by the fiery trial. But, it is worth it—He is worth it.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

1 Peter is an ancient letter written by the Apostle Peter, the beloved disciple of Jesus, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to encourage them—and us—to stand firm (1 Pet. 5:12) amidst trials, persecution, and heartache in a world that is not our true home. Today, in 4:7-11, Peter turns his attention to how we should relate to one another as an end-of-the-age people.
