August 4th, 2024 | How to Survive Life in Exile

It is becoming increasingly obvious to both Christians and non-Christians alike that our culture has gone past the tipping point of turning our backs away from God. We are rushing headlong into the acceptance of lifestyles and values that are in direct opposition to how God has created humans to flourish. We see the consequences of this everywhere. In the generations of children who are growing into confused and apathetic young adults, in the collapse of the family structure, in the increasing rage and conflict towards one another over seemingly trivial things. God does not want His people to be caught up in the maelstrom of culture wars and shifting trends. He has given us a solid foundation in which to base our values on, one that has never changed and never will. This week, Pastor Mark walks us through 1 Peter 4:12-19 and he highlights what Christians can expect as we dig our heels in and resist the temptation to follow the crowd.
