Sermons on 1 Peter
Humility, Holiness, & Hope
This week we will finish our journey through the book of First Peter. We are temporary residents, strangers and sojourners, in a world that is not our home. We long for the coming of Christ and entering into our eternal inheritance. And Peter finishes this letter to the scattered churches with some closing thoughts. He will remind them of the call to humility. He will…
Shepherding & Submission
One of the major themes that Peter has dealt with in his letter is the Christian’s response to authority. For much of chapters 2 and 3, he made it clear that our humble response to human authority will be a telling demonstration of the power of the gospel. Now, as he prepares to close his letter, Peter instructs his readers with their response to one another in the…
Security & Suffering
This week has been one of significant trial and testing in the lives of many associated with our church body. Dozens of people were or remain displaced from their homes. Additionally, we have a family that lost their home with very little warning. In the face of suffering, where do we turn? How do we think rightly about God’s power and goodness, yet wrestle with the…
Homecoming
This week we will open 1 Peter chapter 4 and be reminded of what we look forward to. Living as strangers and sojourners in a world that is not our home can seem daunting. When we suffer for living in obedience to Christ, we might be tempted to give up or move toward despair. But Peter reminds his audience of a certain future that lies ahead of them. Sin will not always…

The Perfect Picture
Thank you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. Last week we began to look at the Christian’s call in responding to authority. Peter is going to deal with political authority, private authority, authority in the home, and authority in the church over the course of the letter. He works through what submission looks like in those various…

Strangers & Sojourners
Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are so glad that you have joined us for our time of worship together. As we move into a new season of school and ministry, we are also moving into a new season of study in God’s word. We live in a divided country. This is, perhaps, never more evident than during an election year. As citizens of a nation, the temptation is to find…
