When Life Is Messy
1w ago00:37:48Tap to summarizeNo one likes to suffer. For most people, we do everything within our power to avoid any sort of suffering. But whether we like it or not, suffering happens. For the church in the times of the apostles, oftentimes they were suffering because they believed in Jesus. Religious persecution of the earliest Christians was very common. But how should a follower of Jesus deal with this type of suffering? Peter gives us a master class on how to respond when life is messy.

Now What?
2w ago00:29:10Tap to summarizeWhat does a life of faith look like after we choose to follow Jesus? Peter reminds us that following Christ means taking on His mindset, leaving behind the old life, and learning to love, serve, and live with purpose. A life shaped by Jesus is not only believed internally, but lived out practically through prayer, hospitality, and fervent love for one another.

Let Life Teach You
3w ago00:41:06Tap to summarizeOur lives are a continual classroom. Our circumstances, whether pleasant or deeply painful, present the most profound learning lessons for us. We must keep the Bible in our right hand, that place of strength, to help us understand and interpret the lessons. That is exactly what the Apostle Peter is doing in his letter as he sought to help the people of God understand the challenges that they were facing.

The Christian Home
4w ago00:41:24Tap to summarizePeople should know that we are followers of Jesus. Our faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, should be visible to anyone who cares to look. There is no such thing as covert Christianity. The evidence of the transfiguration of Jesus should be on display everywhere in our lives. There is no more graphic picture of this than in a Christian home. The way a family devoted to Jesus functions is so much different than that of a family that doesn’t believe in Jesus.

Faithful Submission
Jul 1200:40:21Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to be the people of God in a hostile world? Of course it means that we believe in Jesus and the power of His Spirit. That is the theme of the first epistle of Peter. But what does that look like at street level? What does it look like in regard to work or the government? How shall we live in light of the finished work of Jesus? As we continue our series called A Life of Faith, the Apostle Peter shares very practical wisdom with us.

A Living Temple
Jul 500:34:57Tap to summarizePeter reminds us that we are recipients of so many gifts in Jesus. We have the Word of God preserved over millennia; we have faith communities and churches to belong to; and, of course, we have His mercy. The Life of Faith requires us to close the distance between what we ultimately want and what Jesus has to offer us.

Imperatives of Faith
Jun 2800:33:00Tap to summarizeWe can often think a life of faith is a list of things not to do, but 1 Peter shows us that it’s so much more than that. Faithful living isn’t just avoiding what's wrong, but actively placing our hope in Jesus, pursuing a life set apart for God, and loving one another with a pure heart.
