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. In our passage today, 1:22-2:3, Peter calls us to live out of the new realities that are forged by the new birth, through faith in Jesus.

Our passage today, 1 Peter 1:13-21, marks an important turning point as Peter shifts from describing what God has done (cf. 1:1-12) to highlighting what we must do in order to stand firm while in exile.

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 1:10-12, he directs our attention to the sweeping cosmic story of God’s unfolding redemption and our place in it. The prophets predicted it. The apostles proclaimed it. The angels long to look into it. And we receive it, by faith.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Craig Sturm

We are at the front end of a new series in 1 Peter. His aim in this letter was to encourage churches throughout Asia—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 1:6-9, Peter helps us to see that we can have a increasingly precious faith — not in spite of various trials — but, a faith that actually becomes more precious, more joyful, because of the trials.

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 1:3-5, Peter bursts into a doxology (a praise of God) and puts his spotlight on God’s merciful, and miraculous, new birth available to all who embrace Jesus by faith.

By God’s grace, today we begin a new, and important, 20-week series through 1 Peter. This ancient letter was written by the Apostle Peter, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to help them—and us—stand firm amidst trials, persecution, heartache in a world that is not our true home. In a word, Peter wants us to know exactly who, and whose, we are. His letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile.

Manhood & Womanhood, Marriage, Media, On Being Human, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

God’s purpose throughout time is to bring unity to all things, and marriage exists to point to the deeper reality of Christ and the church. Last week, we looked at what our humanity means in regards marriage and how Christ calls us to live it out. This week, we will read Ephesians 5:22-33 and 1 Peter 3:7 and discuss what is means to be men and how we are to respond to our wives in marriage.

This morning we gather to thank Him for all He has done and ask Him to do even more in the year(s) to come. In light of our birthday, let’s revisit God’s intention and vision for his church, universal and local, from 1 Peter 2:4-10. What do you think of when you think of the local church? What is it? Why does it/we exist? What is God’s purpose for it? Why are we continuing to move ahead in the planting of a new church downtown?
