1 Peter 3:3-7 Wikipedia defines a power couple as; power couple – noun- a couple consisting of two people who are each influential or successful in their own right.  Most Christian couples would never consider themselves a “power couple”. Yet, that is exactly what we can be by God’s divine enablement. We can be God’s Power Couple when we tap into His power and plan for our marriages. When we do, our influence will be experienced by all who observe our lives.

1 Peter 3:1-7 What is the key to a successful marriage? This may be the most asked question and researched subject in all of history! Why? Because, what seems to be true in most marriages today, generally speaking, is that husbands and wives live lonely, unfulfilled marital lives. The dreams of marital bliss that captured the imaginations of so many hopeful couples, within a few years of marriage, turn into nightmares of reality that marriage is hard, marriage is work,…

1 Peter 2:18-25 Life is not fair! Have you ever heard one of your children say this? Have you said this? Truth is, Life is not fair. But, we serve a God who knows and sees all of life’s injustices and gives us hope in the midst of life’s unfair circumstances.

1 Peter 2:13-17 God’s plan to bring the Gospel to the world is to use His redeemed people to spread the message of Jesus Christ. Because this message is so important, it is imperative that God’s messengers not only share the message, but also do nothing to hinder the message from being received. Not only is the message important, but so is the way in which God’s people represent Him as His messengers. This Sunday we will learn how believers…

1 Peter 2:11-12 Does it really matter how I live my life as a believer in Jesus Christ? After all, who really notices how I live anyway? What real impact does the way I live have on me, those closest to me, or a watching world? Well, if you ask Peter, how we choose to live out our time on earth as citizens of Heaven and aliens on this earth, is a matter of life and death! It not only…

1 Peter 2:4-10 Who is your rock in life? A spouse? A parent? Maybe a friend? Jesus Christ is said to be the Rock. He is the only one who we can truly depend on, not only for our salvation, but for our time on earth. This Sunday, we will discover how Jesus is the Rock and how He wants us to trust in His unfailing, steadfast love for life and eternity.

1 Peter 2:1-3 Babies are cute. We all love babies. But, we would not think they were so cute if they remained babies their entire life. Life is about growing up and becoming the adult God designed us to be. So it is with the Christian life. We are all born-again as spiritual babies. We start out in our new birth learning to feed on the Word of God, talk to God, and walk with Him. The process of growing…

1 Peter 1:22-25 In 1993, Tina Turner asked the question “What’s love got to do with it?” We are still asking that question today. What does love have to do with life, relationships, and eternity? Well, it has everything to do with it. If as God’s children we are to carry out His plan for not only our lives, but the ages, we have to know His love, experience it for ourselves, and then show it to the world, starting…

1 Peter 1:17-21 For life to make sense, everyone needs a transcendent purpose. Not just a purpose that gets us going from day to the next, but a purpose that gives our life eternal significance. I can invest in my garden, my garage, or my gigabytes (sorry about the alliteration) but those things will not, and can not provide the ultimate significance I was created and redeemed for. I need more. We all need more God has given us so much…

1 Peter 1:14-16 If you missed part of 1 of this sermon, please go to our church website and listen to it before next Sunday. It is a must. Christians are weird. The things we believe and the way we live is strange to a watching world. But it’s supposed to be this way. We need to stop resisting and embrace the “weirdness” that God has planned and called us to from ages past. It is how we reach the…
