Browse By Series: 1 Peter: Hope & Suffering

Worry and the Persecuted Church (1 Peter 5:1-14)

Sunday, June 18, 2017 •

In this final section, Peter addressed the Church in her united stance against persecution. She must stay focused and faithful without worry or else risk spiritual damage.

No Shock or Shame (1 Peter 4:12-19)

Sunday, June 11, 2017 •

Some Christians hold false beliefs about persecution. In today's passage of study, Peter corrected them, turning his audience's trust to God.

Love in the Last Days (1 Peter 4:7-11)

Sunday, May 28, 2017 •

While churches of every age have experienced trials, they will spread and intensify as Christ's return nears. Such may inhibit the expression of the love that defines the Church as the Bride of Christ. Our love for one another must also spread and intensify with these trials.

Choosing to Suffer (1 Peter 4:1-6)

Sunday, May 21, 2017 •

Having discussed the Believers' proper response to suffering, Peter now addressed the necessity of choosing to suffer for doing what is right (and pleasing God) instead of seeking comfort due to external pressure.

Believers' Counter-response to Unbelievers' Reaction to Believers' response to Suffering (1 Peter 3:8-22)

Sunday, May 14, 2017 •

Peter summarized previous teaching (1:13-3:7). Such a counter-cultural response by Believers would certainly elicit a reaction from Unbelievers. How should Believers counter-respond to this reaction?

Responding to Suffering, Part 4, Cont.; Wives' Submission to Husbands (1 Peter 3:1-7)

Sunday, May 7, 2017 •

Peter continues his exhortation for Christians to submit to God-ordained realms of authority even when they inflict unfair suffering. In this message, Peter discusses the institution of marriage.

Responding to Suffering, Part 4 Cont.: Submission to Earthly Masters (Employers)(1 Peter 2:18-25)

Sunday, April 30, 2017 •

Peter continues his exhortation for Christians to submit to God-ordained authorities even when they inflict unfair suffering. In this message, the God-ordained realm to which Christians are to submit as witnesses is EMPLOYMENT MASTERS.

Responding to Suffering, Part 4: Submit to Governing Authorities (1 Peter 2:11-17)

Sunday, April 23, 2017 •

Peter provides a fourth Biblical response to trials and suffering in a section that begins at 2:11 and continues to 3:7

Responding to Suffering, Part 3: Press to Spiritual Maturity (1 Peter 2:1-10)

Sunday, April 9, 2017 •

As we are learning, a Biblical response to trials and suffering is not so much about ADDING something to what we are already doing, but letting go of what is expendable and doubling-down on the essentials of our faith. Today, we learn a third God-honoring response to suffering.

Responding to Suffering, Part 2: Love Your Family (1 Peter 1:22-25)

Sunday, March 26, 2017 •

Peter's first piece of wisdom for responding to trials was to passionately pursue holiness, making it our trademark. In a short passage that we study today, Peter shares a second response.

Responding to Suffering, Part 1: Pursue Holiness (1 Peter 1:13-21)

Sunday, March 19, 2017 • Pastor Joe

If WE are secure (1:1-2) and our INHERITANCE is secure (1:3-12), how should Believers respond to trials in an unfair, and at times, hostile world? The answer will be revealed over the next few weeks.

The Security of the Suffering (1 Peter 1:1-2)

Sunday, March 5, 2017 • Pastor Joe

1 Peter is the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy in Luke 22:31-32. The Apostle encouraged 1st century Christians by preparing them for the impending assault against their faith. He wrote from Rome around 64 A.D. Did this impending threat mean that God doesn't care about Christians?
