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...

Scripture shows us that God’s truth is not always delivered in soft tones. From the prophets to the apostles—and Jesus Himself—we see instruction, parables, sharp questions, satire, and even rebuke used to pierce pride, expose hypocrisy, and awaken hearts. The “serrated edge” of God’s Word cuts not to destroy, but to heal, calling us to repentance and life. At Pentecost, Peter boldly proclaimed, “...

In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches on 1 Peter 2:3–9. In a world that often rejects Christ, God calls His people chosen, holy, and precious in His sight. Jesus is the cornerstone—the sure foundation of our faith—and we, as living stones, are being built into His spiritual house. Through Him, we become a royal priesthood, offering our lives as spiritual sacrifices and proclaiming the One...

In this sermon, Pastor Ben Nistor teaches on 1 Peter 1:22-2:3. Peter calls believers to live out their new "born again" identity. Being born again is not the end, but it is the beginning of a life marked by sincere love and continual growth. First, born-again Christians love one another earnestly from a pure heart (1:22). This is only possible because God has purified our souls through obedience t...

In this message from 1 Peter 1:13–21, Pastor Jason Hill calls believers to three key actions found in this passage: to set our hope fully on God’s grace, to pursue holiness in all our conduct, and to live with reverent fear of the Lord as we walk through our time on earth. Pastor Jason explains that this fear is not terror but is instead a deep awe and devotion to God, caused as we remember His ho...

In this week’s message, “To Be and Not to Be: It Isn’t a Question” from our 1 Peter series, Pastor Ruben Hernandez unpacks 1 Peter 1:13–16 and reminds us that holiness is not optional. It's a command for every believer. As chosen exiles, our identity in Christ calls us to live differently in a world that often opposes Him. Pastor Ruben highlights three key truths. 1) We are called to be obedient c...

Pastor Andrew Coleman continues our sermon series in 1 Peter by preaching on 1 Peter 1: 13-21. After reminding believers of the greatness of their salvation, Peter turns to how believers ought to live in response. The call is clear: prepare your minds for action, be spiritually alert, and set your hope completely on the grace that will be revealed when Jesus returns. The hope of the believer is a...

In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches on 1 Peter 1: 10-12. In this passage, Peter reminds weary believers just how glorious their salvation is. The prophets longed to see it, the apostles boldly preached it, the Holy Spirit brings it to life in believers' hearts, and even the angels marvel at it! Our salvation is no small thing—it’s God’s eternal plan fulfilled through Jesus’ death and...

In this message from 1 Peter 1:3–9, Pastor Andrew Coleman shows how genuine faith and love for Christ lead to the salvation of our souls. Even though we have not seen Jesus, we can believe in Him and love Him because of who He is and what He has done. Peter's own story—from failure to faithful witness—reminds us that God's mercy gives us a living hope that sustains us through trials. Faith and lov...

In this message, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches from 1 Peter 1: 6–7, and we take a closer look at how God uses trials to grow our faith and to bring Him glory. Peter is writing to Christians who were suffering for their faith, reminding them (and us) that even when life is hard, God hasn’t forgotten us—He’s actually working through the pain for our good. God’s Word doesn’t shy away from hard topic...

In today's sermon, Pastor Ben Nistor preaches from 1 Peter 1:1-9. As we dive into 1 Peter 1:3–5, we are reminded that God, in His great mercy, has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s rooted in the unshakable truth of Christ’s victory over death and the eternal inheritance that awaits every believer. Even amidst...

In this message, Pastor Andrew Coleman unpacks what the Bible says about persecution—what it is, why it happens, and how believers are called to respond. From social rejection and slander to imprisonment and even martyrdom, Scripture shows us that suffering for Christ is not a surprise—it's part of our calling. Drawing from 1 Peter and church history, this sermon encourages believers to face trial...
