Set Apart (Part 6)
Subjection or submission is a part of life not because sin exists, but because God exists. This falls right in line with the gospel and also the very nature of God, Himself.

Set Apart (Part 5)
Not only were we saved from something, but we were saved for something.
Nov 05, 2017•38 min
Soli Deo Gloria
God will give His glory to no other. We close out our series on the 5 solas talking about why it is such good news that God is at the center of everything rather than us.

Solus Christus
Jesus REALLY is the answer to the question and He REALLY is the solution to the problem. In this sermon we look at a broad picture of all that Jesus accomplished through His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection.

Sola Fide
Faith alone has been called the material cause of the Reformation itself. Speaking of justification by faith alone, John Calvin writes, "It is therefore faith alone which justifies, and yet the faith which justifies is not alone." We are justified before God by faith alone. We are justified before men by works that proceed from that faith.

Sola Gratia
Real, Biblical grace is more difficult and uncomfortable than we would like for it to be. However, real, Biblical grace is the power to change us and set us free. God’s grace alone is sufficient to save us!

Sola Scriptura
Scripture is God’s word. Its authority in your life is of utmost importance.

Set Apart (Part 4)
Holiness is played out in community. What’s more is that in Christ we are priests, which could potentially change everything we ever knew about “church”.

Set Apart (Part 3)
The pursuit of holiness will lead to true community. Study Questions: 1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. When was the last time someone proclaimed the truth of the gospel to you in order to combat a lie that you were believing and living from? If it has been a while why do you think this is so? 3. Do you love people or do you need people to love you?

Set Apart (Part 2)
Peter helps us see the practical context for holiness. As elect exiles we live holy (set apart) lives empowered by the gospel to display the glory of God’s grace to the world around us. Study Questions: 1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. What does holiness look like in your life right now? Would the world describe you as set a part? Why or why not? 3. Do you struggle to view God as Father…to believe the He loves you and is pleas...

Set Apart (Part 1)
In a world full of false narratives, Peter exhorts believers to be sober-minded and set our hope fully on the grace of God in Christ. This is a necessary prerequisite for us to be sanctified and grow in holiness. Study Questions: 1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. Why is it crucial that Peter reminds these believers that their salvation is fully a work of God as he transitions to calling them to sanctification? 3. What false nar...

God Saves (Part 3)
In love, God helps us know whether our faith is real. Study Questions: 1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. Do you often rejoice in your salvation? Why or why not? 3. How does this text change your understanding/view of trials and grief? Can you give testimony of how God has used those in your life to establish and confirm your faith? 4. Where does community come into play in all of this? In other words, how does our understanding...

God Saves (Part 2)
How does God’s promise of an inheritance in the future effect the way we live today? In this text Peter gives us a better understanding of our salvation from an already - not yet perspective. As exiles it matters how we view our salvation.

God Saves (Part 1)
Your worship of God is connected to how you think you were saved.

Not Our Home
This is not our home. Peter opens his letter with why we can live this life with hope and peace and confidence.

Psalm 9
This text actually forces us to deal with the age old question of why God would ordain that evil exist. Could it really be a gracious gift to those who call Him Father?
Jul 30, 2017•38 min
Psalm 8
The truth is that God IS majestic AND glorious. The question is whether or not we actually believe it. In this text we find out that our primary problem in the flesh is that we can’t help but rob God of the glory due His name.

Psalm 7
David appeals to the righteousness of God when he can do no else to stop the persecution of his enemies. When he cries out to God to be his refuge, his protection, he appeals not to self-righteousness, but to the imputed righteousness of God he has been given by faith.

Psalm 6
When discipleship is the goal there are no wasted seasons or emotions or experiences.
Jul 09, 2017•41 min
Psalm 5
David shows us how communion with God makes us ready to flourish in the day that promises to have sufficient trouble.
Jul 02, 2017•36 min
Psalm 4
Joy isn’t what happens when life goes our way. Joy is what we fight for and cling to in the midst of it. In Psalm 4 we’ll take a look at how we wield the gospel in the fight for our joy and rest.

Psalm 3
David's lament as he find himself running from his own son is the lament of the redeemed. Jesus himself echoes the laments of David throughout the Psalms when speaking of his enemies, his betrayer, and ultimately on the cross. As believers, our identification with this does not lead us to believing that David's grievances are resolved as we lament with him, but rather proves that we are looking to the same messiah he was.

Psalm 2
This week we look at why it is such good news for us that God is ultimately about the glory of Jesus.
Jun 11, 2017•37 min
Psalm 1
Was the Bible primarily written so that we could be “the man”? What if we are blessed because in our exhaustion we gladly stepped aside to acknowledge someone else as the Man? Who you think of when you read the first four words of the book of Psalms matters in a profound way.

Forgiveness
The resolve to forgive is perhaps one of the greatest ties that bind a family together for its ability to flourish. In this text Jesus teaches us how to apply the gospel as our great motivation and power towards forgiveness.
May 28, 2017•36 min
Pursuit
God pursues His people with a tireless love and grace and mercy. This, of course, is made possible because He poured out His wrath on His Son, Jesus. Jesus gives His disciples a beautiful picture of the heart of the Father…THEIR FATHER and how His heart is to be manifested within the context of the family of believers.
May 21, 2017•44 min
Sensibility
The family is strengthened because it brings with it a certain sensibility. This sensibility flows from its ability to acquire and live out of a common belief and understanding. The family that comes together around the gospel knows that it is sensible to believe that where two or three are gathered (even in the name of Jesus) there in the midst of them will be an abundance of sin. Finding a new family won’t solve this problem. Additional Scripture References: Luke 17:1; Matthew 26:24; Romans 13...

Humility
When the disciples ask Jesus "who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven," his response is the opposite of what they expected. He brings a child in their midst to help them see the true picture of humility. All throughout the New Testament, we see countercultural examples of humility, including servants and even slaves. Humility is ultimately a tie that binds the family by helping us receive others by thinking of ourselves as less than them, and more than that, as last. Additional Scripture Re...

Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. When was the last time you spontaneously thanked the Lord? What were the circumstances? If it has been a while why do you think that is? 3.

The Promise
For The Sake Of The Mission Additional Scripture References: Hebrews 12:1-2; Psalm 119:50, 148; 2 Peter 1:4; Jeremiah 29:11; Ecclesiastes 7:10; James 4:13-14; Ecclesiastes 3:9-13; Psalm 138; Psalm 86:15 Study Questions: 1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you? 2. Right now, where you are, do you believe that God is pleased with you?…disappointed?…annoyed? Why do you believe this? Is your belief consistent with the truth of the gospel? 3....
