Saints Peter and Paul Sermons

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. 

People have a lot to say about Jesus. The world has been talking about him for the last 2,000 years. There's clearly something to this historical figure that has people wondering..."Who is He?" In John 12, there's a multitude gathered as Jesus rides His way into the city of Jerusalem. And in this chapter, we're met with a distinct answer to the question. Who is Jesus? &quo...

This sermon is based on John 15. Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)

How can a good God allow suffering? This is a common question posed by skeptics to the Christian faith, and - more painfully - by believers, when they're facing some acute suffering. But in John 11, we are confronted with a most surprising story - that deals with this very question. There is a family who we know Jesus was intimately connected to. He loved them! But when He learns that one of...

This sermon is based on John 8 where Jesus is having a conversation with Jews who think that being descendants of Abraham is enough. Their focus was on their bloodline. Jesus challenges them in this thought as he welcomes anyone who receives His Word to truly be His disciples. 

In John 5, we meet a man who has been looking for what he needs for the past 38 years. He's an invalid -- and he's come to a pool of water which he believes can heal him. But, something always gets in the way. We may not hold the same superstitious beliefs as the invalid from John 5 -- but to be sure - you and I are also on the lookout. We're looking for things to give us security,...

This sermon begins our Lent series on the Gospel of John. Pastor Aaron preaches on John 1 to see how John introduces us to who Jesus is and why he came into the world.

At Saints Peter & Paul - we exist to help people "live alive in Christ." This is our mission statement. It's what we're about. But, we're not just talking about living a physical life. Nor are we strictly talking about life after death. So what do we mean? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the biblical ideas of "life" and "death."

The world is falling apart. That statement is not meant to be hyperbole or to arouse fear, it's simply a reflection of what we see in the world.  We hear about the "facts" in the world that support this: animals going into extinction, river beds drying up, ice caps melting, and a consistent rise in global temperatures (so far as we have been documenting them). But what's the po...

In this sermon, we're looking at Genesis 3:8-13 where God goes looking for Adam and Eve. They hear him coming so they hide. But, God shows up with the question "Where are you?"  In this sermon, you will hear that because of our sin we are separated from God. But, because of God's great love, he comes to us when we are still sinners.

This is the first sermon in a series called The Fall based on Genesis 3. This series will walk through 5 separations that occur when sin enters the world. In this first sermon, we look at the first separation that occurred - the separation between people.

Isaiah 42 gives us a picture of the chosen One - Jesus of Nazareth. In it, the prophet describes the Messiah to be a bringer of "justice." Justice is so much a quality of the Messiah that the words shows up 3 times in 4 verses! But...what is "justice"? And what does the justice of God look like? In a world filled with injustice...can we really trust Jesus to bring it into our w...
