As we conclude our Rise Up series, Pastor Joe teaches from 1 Peter 5 and reminds us that while believers live in an increasingly hostile world, the greatest battle isn’t just happening around us — it’s happening within us. Peter shifts the focus away from culture and toward the heart, calling the church to humility, trust, and spiritual alertness.

As we continue our Rise Up series, Pastor Zach draws on 1 Peter 4:12-19 and reminds us that suffering is an inevitable part of life, but not all suffering is the same—some comes from our own choices, some from others, and some for the sake of our faith. He emphasizes that while suffering itself is not good, God is faithful and works through it for a greater purpose, inviting us to entrust our lives to him even in hardship.

As we continue our Rise Up series, Pastor Larry Osborne unpacks 1 Peter 4:1–11, reminding us to endure suffering with the mindset of Christ. We’re called to arm ourselves with his resolve — choosing forgiveness over bitterness, hope over despair, and obedience over comfort. This message challenges us to live not for our own desires but for the will of God, trusting that every trial strengthens our faith and shapes us to be more like Jesus.

As we continue our Rise Up series, Pastor Zach teaches from 1 Peter 3:13–22 about finding courage in the face of fear. We’re not called to blend in, but to live with conviction and compassion even when it costs us something. When obedience goes first, God’s protection and provision follow — every single time.

As we continue our series, Rise Up, Pastor Zach reminds us that God has a vision—not just for who we are, but for who we can become. Teaching from 1 Peter 2:13–25, he shows that God’s strategy for transformation isn’t power or control, but submission and trust in him, even when life feels unjust. Just as Christ suffered and entrusted himself to God, we’re called to rise up by living differently—honoring others, doing good, and letting our lives point people back to him.

As we continue our new series, Rise Up, Pastor Joe reminds us from 1 Peter 2:4-12 that Jesus is our cornerstone, the solid foundation we lean on through every storm. We are called to be a chosen people who proclaim Jesus name, love others, and shine with resilience and generosity in a culture that desperately needs him.

As we continue our new series, Rise Up, Pastor Zach shows us from 1 Peter 1:22–2:3 that while our culture loves the idea of love, we often fail to live it out because our love is rooted in pride and insecurity. But through the gospel, we see that God’s love is not given because we are lovable—it is given because he is love. When we receive and share that love, it changes everything about how we live, grow, and treat others.

As we continue our new series, Rise Up, Pastor Joe emphasizes that holiness is not about rules or isolation, but about becoming the best version of ourselves through Christ. He walks through Peter’s guidance in 1 Peter 1, showing that holiness begins with what we think, shapes what we desire, and flows into how we act, with Jesus as the center of our lives.
