What makes people with different backgrounds and personalities a family? in this message, discover how God gives believers new life through His Word and what that life looks like together. Peter shows us how to love one another from the heart, put away habits that damage relationships, and grow in our faith as we come to know the goodness of the Lord.

What should Motivate Christians to behave themselves? In 1Peter1:17-21, Peter connects reverent living with the character of our heavenly Father and the redemption he accomplished though Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Caleb as we explore three reasons for obedience: God is our impartial Judge, immutable Redemer, and immovable foundation for faith and hope. Discover how Christ's precious blood, resurrection, and glory give us reason to live with gratitude, reverence and confidence in God-even amid trials.

Where is your hope set, and how should that hope shape the way you live today? Listen as we look at 1Peter 1:13-16 and consider how awaiting the day of our salvation connects with pursuing holiness in all our conduct

Peter explains that the salvation believers hear in the Gospel was revealed to the prophets long ago, though they searched to understand the Spirit's message about Christ's sufferings and subsequent glories. This revelation continues to serve believers today. Listen as Pastor Caleb considers why we should embrace the Gospel of our salvation and rejoice in it amid trials

How can believers face trials with joy while waiting for salvation to be made complete? In 1Peter 1:7-9, Peter points us to the testing of our faith, our love and trust in the unseen Christ, and the salvation toward which our faith is directed. Listen as Pastor Caleb considers how these truths shape an otherworldly perspective on suffering, joy, and hope.

How can believers have joy when suffering is real and painful? In 1Peter 1:6, Peter reminds us that Christian joy is not based on our circumstances, but on the salvation we have in Christ. Listen as we consider how our suffering is momentary, allowed by God, genuinely painful, and experienced through various kinds of trials --- and why our salvation gives us reason for joy in the midst of it all.

Peter blesses God for His great mercy: He causes believers to be born again to a living hope through Christ's resurrection, keeps an imperishable inheritance for them in heaven, and guards them by His power through faith until their salvation is revealed in the last time.

What does it mean to live as an elect exile in a world that is not our home? In 1 Peter 1:1-2, Paul reminds believers to receive the apostolic message, embrace their God-given identity, and live faithfully through the grace and peace that God provides.

What does it mean to live as an exile in a world that is not our home? In this introduction to 1 Peter, we meet the apostle behind the letter, consider the circumstances of its original readers, trace the book's major themes, and discover why Peter's message of hope, holiness, identity, and steadfastness in suffering still matters for believers today.

As Paul concludes his message to the Romans, he ends not with personal remarks but with a magnificent doxology. He calls believers to praise God for His sovereign work in salvation, His revelation of the mystery of Christ, His commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations, and His incomparable wisdom displayed through Christ Jesus.

God never intended his people to serve Him alone. In Romans 16:21-23, Paul exemplifies for us that the church is connected with like-minded believers to work, share, and stand together for the advancement of the gospel.

In the final message of the Stand Guard series, Paul turns the church's attention from the danger of false teachers to the certainty of God's victory and the sufficiency of Christ's grace. The believer stands guard knowing that the God of peace will ultimately crush Satan and that the grace of Jesus Christ continually supplies what believers need to remain faithful.

In Romans 16:19, Paul rejoices over the Roman believers' widely known obedience while urging them to remain wise concerning what is good and innocent concerning what is evil. This sermon challenges believers to pursue a guarded obedience that celebrates faithfulness in others, develops discernment toward what is good, and refuses participation in what is evil.
