Sermon Series · The First Epistle of Peter

1 Peter

A letter to the elect exiles — scattered, suffering, and called to holy living in the midst of a hostile world. Peter grounds perseverance not in circumstances but in the living hope of the resurrection and the coming glory.

1 Peter 1–5 · The Apostle Peter · c. AD 62–64

Key Text

"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

How we preach

Expository preaching through the whole Bible.

We preach through books of the Bible — verse by verse, chapter by chapter — because we believe every part of Scripture has something to say to God's people in every age.

You will not find topical felt-needs preaching or motivational talks. You will find the text opened, the grammar examined, the context respected, the theology applied, and Christ proclaimed as the center of every text and the Lord of every corner of life.

01
The text drives the sermon
We do not preach our ideas illustrated from Scripture. We preach Scripture and apply it to life. The difference is everything.
02
Christ in all the Scriptures
Every text of Scripture ultimately points to Christ — his person, his work, his kingdom. We preach every book with this in view.
03
Law and Gospel together
God's law reveals our need. God's gospel meets it. Both are in every sermon — conviction and comfort in their proper order.
04
Applied to the whole of life
Scripture speaks to family, work, civil government, and culture — not just private piety. We preach the whole counsel of God for the whole of life.
