“As you come to him, the living stone- rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him – you also, like living stones, are being build into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” – 1 Peter 2:4
“A Living Hope” is the first sermon in this next series on 1 Peter. A complete complete study guide is available on the home page.
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
“Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – (John 20:29)
For the fourth Sunday in Lent, Pastor Augie preached on John 17, when Jesus prayed for his disciples. Jesus spoke this prayer, known as the great high priestly prayer of Jesus, on the evening prior to his betrayal and arrest. Listen and dwell in the Word, and draw near to our Redeemer.
In this week’s sermon, Tom Wilson talks about the key moments leading up to Jesus’ betrayal – what it must have been like to be one of Jesus’ disciples, one of his closest friends. Tom shares our deep desires to be known and the pride that goes along with knowing someone important. And yet, they couldn’t go where Jesus was going. In that moment, He said, “And now the Son of Man is glorified.”
Pastor Augie Hurst shares his thoughts on the first Sunday in Lent in a sermon titled “Strange Happenings”. Be encouraged by God’s Word during this time of reflection.
