In a culture that says “love is love,” Peter reminds us that real love is something far deeper. True, lasting love flows from the new birth and is rooted in the imperishable Word of God. This kind of love isn’t a performance—it’s a gospel response.

Why should we pursue holiness? In this second message from 1 Peter 1:13–21, Pastor Greg unpacks the motivations that fuel a life set apart—not to earn God’s love, but because we’ve already received it. Holiness flows from our identity as God’s children, the costly grace of our salvation, and the astonishing truth that all of history has been shaped for our redemption. When weariness sets in, this...

Are you living like you’ve been saved? Over this sermon and the next, Pastor Greg speaks on 1 Peter 1:13–21, exploring what it takes to live a life of holiness. In this sermon, we look at verse 13, where Peter offers a three-part foundation for holy living: a mind ready for battle, a will aligned with truth, and a heart fully fixed on Christ. This message invites us to examine whether we’re simply...

In 1 Peter 1:10-12, the apostle lifts our eyes to see the gospel as heaven sees it. This salvation we often take for granted was searched for by prophets, foretold by the Spirit, fulfilled in Christ’s suffering and glory, and is now proclaimed by the power of the Holy Spirit—so marvelous that even angels long to look into it.

Even in trials, we rejoice—not because life is easy, but because Jesus is faithful. In 1 Peter 1:6–9, Peter shows us that tested faith leads to lasting joy, glory, and a deeper love for the Savior we cannot see but deeply trust.

Like the second course of a meal that invites you to linger, these verses remind us that our hope is alive, our inheritance is secure, and our souls are being guarded by God himself. If you’ve felt like your faith is fragile, this is the comfort you didn’t know you needed: you are not only chosen—you are kept.

1 Peter 1:1–2 is like a rich, flavorful appetizer—just two verses, but packed with gospel depth. Like a single, elegant bite that awakens the palate, Peter’s greeting reveals our identity as chosen exiles, set apart by the Spirit for participation in the New Covenant in Christ. It’s the perfect start to a feast of grace and truth.

In the final verses of Ecclesiastes, the Preacher leaves us in unresolved tension — “All is vanity.” It’s a cry that echoes the ache of life under the sun. But as the tension builds, we’re pointed toward a greater resolution — one that cannot be found in pleasure, power, or wisdom alone. In this final sermon from Ecclesiastes, we explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ brings the resolution our hea...

Qoheleth brings resolution to the tension between life’s hardships and its joys by anchoring us in a central truth: when we remember our Creator, we find lasting joy—even in the days of darkness.

Life is full of uncertainty, and for those of us paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice, Ecclesiastes 11:1–6 offers a liberating call: just do something. In this message, Pastor Greg invites us to take godly risks, embrace imperfect decisions, and act in faith—even when the outcomes are unclear. This sermon explores the balance between rest and work, trust and effort, patience and persev...

Foolishness isn’t just immaturity—it’s living as if God doesn’t matter. In this passage, Qoheleth exposes the everyday and eternal consequences of folly in our actions, our words, and our leadership. But in contrast to human foolishness, we find Christ—the true and wise King—who offers us a better way, a better word, and a better life.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but it is also fragile. In this sermon, we confront the sobering truth that in a broken world, a little folly can outweigh a lifetime of wisdom. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 10 and the story of Moses in Numbers 20, we see how quickly wise decisions can be undermined by a single foolish act, and how the temporal promises of wisdom can be upended by foolish leaders...

He is risen! This Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the life-changing power of the gospel. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5:17, Pastor Greg unpacks how the gospel doesn’t just offer a future hope—it makes us entirely new creations right now.

In this sermon, we explore the Triumphal Entry of Jesus through the eyes of all four gospel writers—each offering a unique perspective on that day. From fulfilled prophecy in Matthew to mistaken expectations in Mark, to the uncontainable worship in Luke, this message invites us to see Jesus for who he truly is. As we approach Good Friday, let this message reorient your heart toward the One who des...

True wisdom is often overlooked in a world chasing influence and noise, but God offers us a better perspective—one shaped by Christ. In this passage, we see that lasting impact comes not through might, but through the quiet strength of godly wisdom.

In the book of Hosea, we witness a powerful and heartbreaking portrayal of God’s covenant love. Through Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, God paints a vivid picture of His unwavering faithfulness to His unfaithful people.

Life is short, unpredictable, and often incomprehensible—but that doesn’t make it meaningless. In this episode, we explore Ecclesiastes 9:1-12 and the tension between life’s fleeting nature and its profound value. While death comes for all, the Preacher in Ecclesiastes urges us to embrace the life we’ve been given with joy and gratitude. How do we navigate a world where justice seems delayed and s...

In a world full of unanswered questions, how should we live? Ecclesiastes 8:14-17 reminds us that God is the giver of life and the one who sovereignly works, even when we don’t understand His plans. Our limited perspective can lead to anxiety and toil, but true peace comes when we trust in Christ, who secures our joy and rest in God’s providence. This sermon equips us with practical questions to s...

Ecclesiastes 8:10-13 reminds us that while the wicked may prosper temporarily, God’s justice is inevitable. Human praise can be deceptive, elevating power and success over true righteousness. Many mistake God’s patience for approval, but sin always incurs a debt we cannot repay. The good news is that those who fear God—who trust in Christ—are justified by His grace, not by their own efforts. Rathe...

In a culture that prizes rebellion over submission, this sermon pulls no punches about the power of one simple command—“obey.” Drawing from Ecclesiastes 8:1-9, Romans 13, and 1 Peter 2, the message challenges the notion that obedience is legalistic or oppressive. Instead, it reveals how embracing God-ordained authority leads to true wisdom, peace, and even joy. With raw honesty and practical illus...

Life often feels crooked—filled with paradoxes and unanswered questions. Ecclesiastes 7 wrestles with these tensions, showing us that while wisdom strengthens us, it has limits. In this sermon, we explore the preacher’s hard-won insights: the reality that no one is truly righteous, the necessity of humility, and the hope we have in Christ. Join us as we navigate a passage that reminds us to trust...

In Ecclesiastes 7:14-18, Qoheleth reminds us that both prosperity and adversity come from the Lord, teaching us humility and dependence on Him. He warns against self-righteousness and reckless wickedness, calling us instead to the fear of the Lord, which brings true wisdom.

The wisdom from this passage can help anyone live a better life, but the gospel changes everything. Only those who are in Christ have the foundation necessary to maintain the wise path amidst the “crooked” twists and turns of this life.

This passage teaches us that true wisdom values character over comfort and refinement over riches. The Preacher reminds us that sorrow can shape us more than laughter, and the rebuke of the wise is far more valuable than the flattery of fools.

The end of Ecclesiastes 6 explores man’s futile striving for self-significance and God’s unchanging sovereignty. These verses challenge us to abandon vanity and align our fleeting lives with the eternal purposes of our Creator.
