Suffering is not strange in the Christian life—it is expected. In this powerful passage, Peter calls believers to rethink how they view trials, persecution, and hardship. Rather than being surprised by suffering, Christians are reminded that it is part of God’s refining work. These “fiery trials” are not signs of God’s absence, but evidence of His presence—shaping, strengthening, and purifying our...

As Peter brings his letter to a close, he reminds suffering believers how to persevere faithfully in a broken world. Throughout 1 Peter, Christians are encouraged to take heart in the hope found in Jesus Christ—His suffering, death, and resurrection guarantee that God’s promises will be fulfilled both now and forever. In these final verses, Peter gives simple but powerful instructions for daily li...

Life is short, and Christ could return at any moment. In this passage, Peter reminds believers that “the end of all things is at hand,” calling Christians to live with urgency, purpose, and devotion to God. Rather than living for temporary pursuits, followers of Christ are called to focus on what matters most: prayer, love, and service within the body of Christ. Peter urges believers to be self-co...

In the closing verses of Philippians, Paul thanks the church for their faithful partnership in the gospel. Though imprisoned in Rome, he was not forgotten. The Philippian believers—persecuted and facing hardship themselves—continued to give, support, and stand with their missionary. Philippians 4 shows us that missions giving is far more than fundraising. It is fellowship in the trenches. It stren...

The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories, but it is one unfolding, global plan of redemption. In Revelation 5, heaven erupts in worship because Jesus, the slain Lamb, has ransomed people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation. This is a beautiful New Testament fulfillment of an ancient promise. From God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12, to the prophetic vision of...

Because Christ suffered to save us, believers are called to think and live differently. In this passage, Peter moves from Christ’s saving suffering to the believer’s sanctifying suffering. If Jesus suffered in obedience to the Father, we must “arm ourselves” with that same mindset, choosing God’s will over sin, even when it costs us. Peter reminds us that our former life of sinful passions is fini...

Pastor Andrew preaches through the Bible’s clear teaching on church leadership, showing that Scripture establishes two offices in the local church: Pastors (also called elders or overseers) and Deacons. Though often treated as separate roles today, the Bible uses the terms pastor, elder, and overseer interchangeably to describe one shepherding office responsible for leading, teaching, caring for,...

In this powerful and theologically rich passage, Peter reminds suffering believers why they can stand firm without fear. In just five verses, Scripture reveals Christ’s substitutionary suffering, victorious resurrection, proclamation over spiritual powers, saving work through judgment, and His exaltation as reigning King. This sermon unpacks how Jesus suffered once for sins to bring us to God, how...

In this message from 1 Peter 3:13-17, Pastor Andrew Coleman addresses how Christians can live securely when obedience to Christ brings friction rather than favor. Peter teaches believers how to respond when following Jesus provokes hostility, misunderstanding, or outright persecution. This passage offers both comfort and challenge: we belong to Christ and are destined for glory, yet we must learn...

In this passage, Peter teaches the church what true Christian living looks like in a broken and hostile world. The good life God promises is not built on retaliation, pride, or self-protection, but on Christ-shaped humility, unity, compassion, and sacrificial love. Believers are called to respond to evil with blessing, guard their words, turn away from sin, actively pursue peace, and reflect the h...

God’s grace is not merely something we receive once for forgiveness. It is the foundation upon which the entire Christian life is built. In Titus 2, Paul reminds us that grace has appeared in Christ, bringing salvation to all kinds of people and establishing a new starting point for life, family, and church. Reform does not begin with pressure, shame, or cultural battles. It begins with grace reve...

In this message from 1 Peter 3: 7, the apostle Peter continues addressing marriage within his larger call to holy living in a hostile world. In the previous six verses, wives are called to reflect Christ’s willing submission through respectful, pure conduct. Then, Peter turns to husbands in 1 Peter 3:7, and the weight of responsibility intensifies. Husbands are not exempt from submission. Instead,...

In this message from our 1 Peter series, Pastor Andrew digs into Peter’s teaching on submission within marriage. Set in a cultural context where women were often undervalued and objectified, and at times spiritually isolated in marriage, Peter’s words offer a radically dignifying and Christ-centered vision for both wives and husbands. Peter calls wives to a posture of courageous, Christlike submis...

In this continuation of the Marriage 2025 series, Pastor Andrew Coleman explores the deeply covenantal nature of biblical marriage, showing how it mirrors God’s unbreakable commitment to His people. From Genesis 2:24’s leaving, cleaving, and becoming one flesh to the prophetic picture of Yahweh as Israel’s husband and Christ as the ultimate Bridegroom, marriage is revealed as a sacred sign of the...

Dive into the breathtaking covenant heart of biblical marriage. Pastor Andrew Coleman describes Genesis 2:24's call to leave, cleave, and become one flesh; this mirrors God’s unbreakable vow to Israel (Hosea 2:19–20; Jeremiah 31:31–34) and finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ the Bridegroom (Ephesians 5:31–32; Revelation 19:6–9). Trace pre-Fall truths, Old Testament symbols like the bride pric...

In 1 Peter 3, Peter continues his theme of holy living, showing that submission and honor within marriage are not signs of weakness but rather are reflections of Christ’s strength and love. Marriage is not man’s idea — it’s God’s grand design from the very beginning. Throughout Scripture, we see many references to this beautiful design for marriage. In Genesis 2, God Himself created woman, brought...

In this message from Sheridan Hills Baptist Church, Pastor Jason Hill teaches from 1 Peter 2:18–25 about what it means for a follower of Christ to be subject and to endure suffering. This passage reminds us that submission, even in difficult circumstances or under unjust authority, is not weakness but a powerful testimony of faith. Christ Himself suffered unjustly, leaving us an example to follow....

In this passage, Peter calls believers to live holy lives, even under unjust authority. Submission is not weakness—it is strength rooted in trust that God rules over every human institution. We submit for the Lord’s sake, representing Him to a watching world. By doing good, we silence critics and reflect the goodness of Christ, and as those set free from sin, we use our freedom not for rebellion o...

In the letter of 1 Peter, the Apostle Peter writes to believers living in a hostile, sinful world. His message still speaks to us today. Though rejected by men, God's people are chosen and precious to God, built as living stones into His spiritual house. In Christ, we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people called out of darkness into His marvelous light. In 1 Peter 2: 3-9,...

In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman continues our 1 Peter series. In 1 Peter 2, believers are reminded that though the world may reject Christ, He is the Cornerstone—chosen and precious in God’s sight. Those who belong to Him are not ordinary; rather, Christians are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession. Peter calls believers to remember who they once...

In this timely message, Pastor Andrew Coleman examines the sons of Issachar from 1 Chronicles 12:32—men who "had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." Drawing from their example of spiritual discernment and practical wisdom, this sermon explores how believers today can perceive the political, social, and spiritual currents of our moment and respond with godly insight. From...
