Sermons & Teaching

1 Peter 1:10-25 is the overall text for today but we drill down into verses 10-12 as the focus. There were prophets of old that anticipated the coming Christ/Messiah but their revelation was actually for the early church believers and now for us to see Christ throughout history past, into the present and we believe into the future.
Suffering brings joy as we learned in the lesson on 08 October, now we move to seeing it developing holiness in our lives.

Hebrews 13 picks up where chapter 12 finishes and goes on to complete the thoughts. What does ‘brotherly love’ look like in our world today, who are strangers vs brothers? What about prisoners, can we relate?

Teacher — Jack Greenwood

1 Peter 1:3-9 gives us a journey from lostness to “salvation of your souls.” The hard part for us is the suffering that comes along the way. But the suffering is to make our faith genuine and valuable and to teach us how to be joyful in a hard place.

Part 2 of our Peter Study Introduction. We looked at who the author Peter was, and now we look at us and the world we travel through. 1 Peter 1:1-2 is the text for jumping off into other thoughts to lay groundwork for the rest of our study.

How do we approach the judgment of God, and the grace of God as we enter the kingdom that is promised?

Hebrews 12 builds on the faith stories from Hebrews 11, Moses as a main OT character and the Mount Sinai and Mount Zion connections become clear in Hebrews 12:18-29

Teacher — Jack Greenwood

The Peters have amazing lessons for us to consider as we grow in Christ. We have to start with a consideration of the life of Peter because it is interwoven with the Life of Christ.
We should all be able to relate to Peter and his humanity because we are so similar.

Philippians 2:5 says “Let this mind be in you…” Whose mind is in you and how does that look in 2023 and beyond. What does it mean to work out our own salvation?

The text is Philippians 2:12-17

Preacher — Pastor Jon

Philippians 2:5-7 has a powerful mind-changing message for us in the world we live in. Starting at verses 1 to 11 give us a view of Jesus and our relationship to Him that should change the way we live our day-to-day lives.
