St. Paul (Peoria) | Pastor Deveraux Hubbard

We all face the reality of mortality, which can be frightening. As Christians, we believe that there is a loving God who desires to be in a relationship with us both now and after death. We will explore what the Bible says about death, and how we can live in a way that reflects hope. Let's acknowledge the complexity of this topic while pointing to the hope and comfort that comes from a relationshi...

God's love is for everyone! Take this time to reflect on who you are inviting to meet Jesus. Just as God has welcomed us into his family, we want to extend that same love and grace to the people in our lives who may need hope and encouragement.

Whether dealing with illness or personal struggles like anxiety, depression, or addiction, or larger societal issues like injustice and inequality, we can turn to Jesus and trust in his power to heal and transform us.

God often reveals himself to us through ordinary, everyday things. Drawing from the story of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11), we see how even something as simple as water can reveal the power and grace of our Creator! Join us as we reflect on how the things we often take for granted - from the food we eat to the people we interact with - can reveal deeper truths about God...

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Hubbard delves into the importance of our spiritual diet in shaping our lives and our relationship with God.

Join us as we examine the parallels between our physical diet and our spiritual d...

If you want to be a “fit” follower of Jesus, you must practice or train for Godliness, with an understanding that Practice makes permanent…not perfect.

Living one life means asking the God to help us see the gaps, own the gaps, and bridge the gaps in our lives. Don't stop surrendering to Christ-- remember, authenticity for a follower of Jesus is being true to who Jesus called us to be.

Say What!? Jesus Crossed the Line (PART 2) Despite many differences, we as humans have more in common than we think!

The Gospel message is a multi-ethnic message. Instead of following what was the norm of culture on race, morality and religion, Jesus chose to go against the cultural norms of the day and model a different way. Our prayer is that each of us would be motivated by the Gospel of Jesus and be intentional in our efforts to cross the lines and build relationships with people who may not share our race,...
