Walking in Love

Walking in Truth
2 John 1-3 In this short letter, John focuses on embracing objective truth as Christians but only if it is accompanied by love. Pastor Doug Link begins this series by examining our walk in truth because when it abides in us it is what binds us together.
Submission to Governing Authorities
1 Peter 2:13-14 Having described the general behavior that Christians should exhibit, Peter starts describing more specific areas to demonstrate our obedience to God. Pastor Rod Bunton tackles the first area — submission to those that God has put in authority over us, even if they are godless.
The Battle is Within You
1 Peter 2:11-12 Peter reminds his readers that, as Christians, we are not like the unbelievers around us; in fact, he calls us “aliens and strangers” in this world. Pastor Rod Bunton reminds us that this means we have an obligation and the power to behave differently.
Who We Are and What We Are to be Doing
1 Peter 2:9-10 Peter explains an important concept about who Christians are in the view of God and what that means. Pastor Rod Bunton provides perspective that shows how Peter’s Old Testament terms apply to us in our New Testament covenant.
No Ordinary Stone
1 Peter 2:4-8 Peter builds on the metaphor established earlier by Jesus, who called the revelation that He is the living God the stone upon which His church would be built. Pastor Rod Bunton relates this Easter message to Peter’s assertion that this living cornerstone separates the believer from the non-believer.
Our God is Holy, Worship in Fear and Joy
Psalm 99 What kind of king is our God? Pastor Ben Khazraee visits Psalm 99 to reveal that God is terrifyingly great and yet just above all, which demands that we respond in exaltation and worship.
Longing for Pure Spiritual Milk
1 Peter 2:1-3 In Chapter 2, Peter builds on the points made at the end of the previous chapter to deliver an important exhortation. Pastor Rod Bunton explains that first we must shed our “minor” sins so that we can have an insatiable desire for pure spiritual milk.
A Transformed Heart
1 Peter 1:22-25 Peter addresses the condition our hearts before and after we are saved. Pastor Rod Bunton draws from many supporting scriptures to expound on how we show obedience to God by loving one another.
Fear God
1 Peter 1:17-21 What does it mean to fear God? Although there are many things to fear in our daily lives, fearing God is different. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches from Peter’s exhortation on the importance of fearing God and why he deserves it.
Set Your Hope on the Grace of a Holy God
1 Peter 1:13-16 After having spent time outlining who we are in Christ and what that means, Peter moves into how we should live since we are in that place. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at two principles in this passage: God is holy and we should fix our hope on his gift of grace.
Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise
1 Peter 1:10-12 Peter wants to ensure that believers have the proper perspective regarding where they fit in God’s family and what they have in their salvation. Pastor Rod Bunton breaks down the role of prophets, led by the Holy Spirit, in proclaiming God’s truth even when they didn’t understand it fully.
