Chosen People | Week Seven | Chosen to Be Humble (1 Peter 5)
We are exhorted to clothe ourselves with humility toward one another, this is in the context of spiritual guidance. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. What does that mean? We are told to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift us up in due time. Without this humility we shut off the flood gates of grace in our lives and cease to grow in our discipleship. The Church is also stunted in its growth.WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Chosen People | Week Six | Chosen to Serve God No Matter What (1 Peter 4)
Peter says, since Christ suffered in His body, we are to arm ourselves with the same attitude. We deal with temptations, overcoming sin, our past, painful trials, trying to serve others without grumbling, and even persecution. He tells us those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. - Jun 22, 2020Chosen People | Week Five | Chosen to Not Retaliate (1 Peter 3:8-22)

Chosen People | Week Four | Chosen to Have a Godly Marriage (1 Peter 3:1-7)
When marriage is lived out as God intended and as He guides us from His Word it is a life-giving, satisfying, God glorifying blessing. We examine what both Peter has to say about the role of husband and wife and particularly if the husband is unsaved. - Jun 7, 2020Chosen People | Week Three | Chosen to Be a Priesthood of Believers (1 Peter 2:4-25)
Chosen People | Week Three | Chosen to Be a Priesthood of Believers (1 Peter 2:4-25)
All Christians have a calling! Every person who is a disciple of Christ should impact those around them by the life they live, the words they speak, and the deeds they perform. There should not be a clergy and laity divide. We are living stones being built into a spiritual house, we are all equal. We also discuss "Black Lives Matter" as well. - May 31, 2020Chosen People | Week 2 | Chosen to Grow Up (1 Peter 2:1-3)
Chosen People | Week 2 | Chosen to Grow Up (1 Peter 2:1-3)
We are instructed to rid ourselves of every kind of malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. Crave spiritual milk so that you can grow up in your salvation. Craving spiritual food is a sign of maturity and the only way to rid ourselves of these things. We also strongly deal with racism in this message and our responsibility to ensure justice for those being crushed. - May 23, 2020Chosen People | Week One | Chosen to Be Holy (1 Peter 1)
