Why should we care about humility? Join as we look at 1 Peter 5:17.

Expectations are important. They set us up for amazement or discouragement. They shape our perceptions and they even influence the way we relate to God. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to reset our expectations, so that suffering can draw us closer to God rather than driving a wedge between us and God. Join us in 1 Peter 4:12-19 as we see how we can encourage each other when we find ourselves in adversity and suffering.

We're quick to label something as "this" OR "that." But, many times, the truth lies more in the AND. The book of 1 Peter is a book about suffering AND it is also a book about hope. In this message on 1 Peter 4:1-11, Pastor Scott Savage invites us to see how our adversity is also an opportunity when God's grace is at work in our lives.

One of the most famous failures in Scripture occurs when Peter denies that he even knows Jesus. So, what happens when Peter encourages followers of Jesus to be share the hope they have in Jesus? Pastor Scott shares the answer to that question as he continues our series, A Living Hope in a Hostile World.

Life is full of awkward and uncomfortable moments. These moments are the worst. But here's the thing - If you refuse to do something that might lead you to looking or feeling awkward or uncomfortable, you’ll never grow. So, if you want to grow, you're going to have to get uncomfortable. In this message, Pastor Scott Savage share from 1 Peter 3:1-12 about 3 uncomfortable callings for wives, husbands, and all of us.

When things go wrong, you need a friend to call. These "2 AM Friends" jump into the hard times with us. They give us hope and they bring the honesty we need. In the book of 1 Peter, Peter is that friend to his original audience and those of us who study his letter today. In this message, Pastor Scott shares three reminders we need for hard times and hard jobs. We hope this message helps you as you navigate the difficulties you're facing today.

There are a lot of problems facing us. It seems like the last few years have been a never-ending stream of challenges. The book of 1 Peter honestly speaks to those problems that gives us a lot of hope. But, that hope doesn't mean the problems are about to magically go away. Jesus doesn’t promise to lower the hostility around us. Instead, Jesus invites us to increase the maturity within us. In this message, Trey Van Camp unpacks 1 Peter 2:10 and shows us how we are a community built on Christ in a culture built on crisis. We hope this message gives you hope and helps remind you the difference it makes when we build our lives on Jesus - the cornerstone of our faith!

Do you have a hard time believing the Bible? Do you have a hard time believing verses about who God says you are? Even if you could believe what God says it true, what difference would that make?

Have you ever discovered something you wish you didn’t know? Stumbled into something or had some sort of challenge forced upon you, only to wish that difficult calling had fallen to someone else? Living as a follower of Jesus in these times can feel like one of those moments. As our culture becomes more hostile and we face all sorts of modern challenges, how do we find hope? In this message, Pastor Scott Savage kicks off our fall 2022 series on the book of 1 Peter with a message about remembering what is true about God, about us, and about how God is working in us.

Shortages reveal our financial stories. When we start facing those stories, our tendency is to make small tweaks or surface-level changes.
