Saints Peter and Paul Sermons

What is the "center" of a Christian's life? What is the "heart of the matter" when it comes to the Story of Scripture? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin shares 3 key distinctives that comprise "The Gospel." Listen and consider how these distinctives impact your understanding of God - and how your life is changed through them.

The Church is sometimes called "The Body of Christ." It's a useful metaphor for thinking about our relationship to other Christians. There are lots of us who look differently, think differently, have different skills - and yet, are united.  But where did this metaphor come from? Why do we use it? What does it mean for us to be "members" of the body of Christ? In this sermo...

This is the first sermon in a series called ONE which will focus on words from Paul in his letter to the Ephesians and Jesus' words in the Gospel of John. The series focuses on the Christian Church's unity in Christ. This first sermon looks at how Jesus is the head of the church.  This sermon was preached for Rally Day and was supposed to be an outdoor service, but it was moved inside du...

The Christian life is one of "transformation." All throughout the New Testament we hear phrases like: "we are no longer slaves to sin", "you are a new creation", or "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." But what does it actually look like to be transformed? What is the process? How does this work? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks Roma...

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron reflects on Romans 11:36 "For from him, and through him, and to him are all things. To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen."  This sermon is a conversation about God's glory -- what it means, and ultimately, who gets the glory when it comes to our salvation and eternal life? God alone gets the glory.

The Christian faith is not a “blind” faith - as if Christians have no "evidence" for their beliefs. Nor is Christian hope a "wishy-washy" hope (as in, "I hope it doesn’t rain this weekend…but it might").  Instead, the Christian faith gives its adherents a certain confidence in the beliefs they hold about the past, the present, and the future. But how do we get this co...

This week's sermon is based on Romans 5:8, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  Pastor Aaron emphasizes that God's grace comes to us when we are undeserving of it. If you're wondering whether or not God truly loves you, listen to this sermon for the assurance of God's grace given to you in Christ.

The Bible is full of "church words." They weren't that way to begin with - - but 2,000 years of using them can isolate their meaning + make them difficult to understand! Justification is one of those words. It's central to the Christian Faith and what it means to be a believer in Jesus. But what does it mean? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin continues to trace Paul's outline o...

This is the first sermon in a series on Romans called "Reciting Romans" preached in August 2026. Through the six weeks of this series, we will walk through the main sections of Paul's theological logic throughout the letter. We will focus on a key word and a memory verse in order that we can learn these words by heart. In this sermon, we begin by looking at the root of the Gospel in...

The Bible uses a great deal of military terms throughout its text. This may be obvious - since much of the Bible records the history of the Israelites: their struggles, wars, and geopolitical reality as a nation. But...what do the old wars of Israel or their military structures (citadels, towers, and the like) have to do with us? How do understand the wars of the Old Testament or the military lang...

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron unpacks Psalm 118 verse by verse. This psalm is classified as a "liturgical Psalm" and would have been often spoken and/or sung by the congregation of Israel.  In these words are many phrases that are cited in songs, hymns, and quoted throughout the New Testament.  Listen to this sermon and see the significant message that is recorded in these words.

This week we're looking at a psalm of trust -- Psalm 62. In this sermon, we reflect on the ways in which we build trust. But, how do we know that God is trustworthy? We explore that reality in this sermon.

This sermon walk through Psalm 35 which is an imprecatory psalm. Imprecatory means to invoke divine judgment on someone. What role does this kind of prayer play in the life of the Christian today?

If I were to pinch you - you might cry out: "youch!" Yet many people - when facing difficult situation in life - refuse to cry out. They're told to "tough it out." "Be strong." "Don't let it get to you." This pattern exists even for Christians who may be inclined to respond to all of their suffering with a simple: "God is good all the time. Al...

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks us through Psalm 6 and introduces us to the concept of Lament. If you've ever wondered whether or not it's okay to bring your complains to God, this sermon will give you permission and invitation on how to do that.

This is the first sermon in a series on the book of Psalms in the summer of 2026. Pastor Aaron opens up with looking at a "Wisdom Psalm" in Psalm 1. Here, the psalmist contrasts the life of the righteous with that of the wicked.  We hope that this message encourages you to delight in God's law and meditate on it night and day.

As Christians - we're on a "need-to-know" basis. Everything we "need to know" about God is revealed to us in the Scriptures. God Himself is made known - by His Word. And we "need to know" it - to be saved! But interestingly, the word "Trinity" doesn't show up anywhere in the Bible. So why have a "Trinity" Sunday? Why has this word become...

On this Day of Pentecost, Pastor Aaron walks systematically through Acts 2:1-21 answer the question that the people asked that very day, "What does this mean?" What does it mean that the Holy Spirit has come upon the people? What does it mean that tongues as of fire appeared up them? What does it mean that the sound of a mighty rushing wind appeared? What does it mean that the people can...

This is the final sermon in our series on 1 Peter. In it, Pastor Aaron reflects back on some past events that help to demonstrate God's faithfulness to His promises, so that as we look forward, we can cling with certainty to the Living Hope we have in Jesus. 

The book of the Bible - 1 Peter - is a letter from the disciple of Jesus to early Christians suffering at the hands of a hostile culture. In chapter 4 of the letter, Peter advises his hearers: "arm yourselves." That may sound understandable - considering the context. However, Peter is not advising them to literally take up arms against their abusers. He's speaking about a different...

In 1 Peter chapters 2 and 3 - Peter shares "guidelines for holy living" to the Christian people he's writing to. Now, that may sound exactly like the kind of thing you'd expect the Bible to talk about, and therefore, for Peter to be writing about. But once you know the context of the audience - the "reasonableness" of it all starts to go out the window. What guideline...

This sermon is based on 1 Peter 2:1-12 in which Peter implores his audience to long for the pure spiritual milk of the good news so that they can taste that the Lord is good. 

We continue studying 1 Peter and focus on chapter 1:13-25. In these verses, Peter tells us that we can "hope fully" in the grace that is ours in Jesus Christ. 

Sufjan Stevens once said: "Everyone suffers; life is pain; and death is the final punctuation at the end of that sentence, so deal with it.” It may be harsh...but it's true. And while we live in a day and age where our most basic sufferings have been minimized (through technology, healthcare, etc.) - we still suffer. And in some ways, our comforts have set us up perfectly to be unable to...

He is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia! This is the Easter sermon from 2026 based on the concluding chapters of John's Gospel. In it, Pastor Aaron walks us through the resurrection of Jesus and the purpose for which John recorded these events in his book -- that by believing you may have life in His name.
