11. Final Boss
In the final message of the series Liquid Gold, Peter reveals that the true final boss isn't just Rome or Babylon, but the pride within us; and how Jesus defeats it with grace, not power, giving us peace at last. 1 Peter 5
10. At Your Door
Peter reminds us that we shouldn't be shocked by suffering, but that we have a gospel that is strong enough to sustain us through the fire. He is not going to let you dissolve in the fire -- will you let him purify you into something beautiful? 1 Peter 4:12-17
9. Ordinary Love
When the world feels chaotic, Peter reminds us that God works through ordinary faithfulness. Clear minds, deep love, open doors, and willing hands reveal His strength in the midst of chaos. 1 Peter 4:7-11
8. Stranger Things
The Bible can seem strange, even bizarre at times, and this passage is no exception. However, the more you know the historical backstory you see that themes of floods, dark spiritual forces, and Jesus' victory aren't random at all, they are profound themes that run through the whole Bible and can effect your life today. 1 Peter 3:19-4:6
7. Rage Bait
Conflict is a part of life and some interactions leave us fuming, it is so easy to fire back and return the rage. But Peter shows us a better way. His message calls us to resist that instinct, listen deeply, speak with wisdom, and let Jesus’ compassion reshape how we respond when people try to provoke us. 1 Peter 3:8-18
6. Beauty and the Beast
In one of the more difficult passages of Peter, we explore how what can seem repressive to women is actually an empowering and loving message of hope and equality -- all from the God who gave His all to show us our worth. 1 Peter 3:1-7
5. War We Have To Win
We live in a time where the media is reporting on assassinations, talk of civil war and violent revolution. But Jesus waged a war of peace, love and humility and His revolution has outlasted everyone else's. We must learn to wage a war of peace. 1 Peter 3:11-25
4. Arrested Development
God doesn't want you to have a spiritually stagnant life. He calls you to go deeper -- but how? This week, Pastor Jesse brings us through three ways to flourish in our faith and to experience the fullness of joy in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 1:22-2:10
3. Bloodlines
Generational pain runs deep — whether it's trauma, addiction, or dysfunction. But it doesn't have to dictate your life. Through Jesus, you can start a new legacy, a new bloodline, and a new future. 1 Peter 1:10-25
2. Out of the Furnace
What if the fire in your life isn’t meant to destroy you, but to refine you? As we continue in 1 Peter, we see that suffering can cause us to question what we put our hope in, and can redirect us to a hope that "can never perish, spoil or fade." 1 Peter 1:3-9
1. Work in Progress
The road to becoming like Jesus isn’t smooth. It’s full of detours, breakdowns, and restarts. In the start of the series, Liquid Gold, Peter’s story reminds us that our sanctification is a work in progress -- but Jesus is there every step of the way. 1 Peter 1:1-2
