    Suffer With Joy

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 19, 2025 41:17


    Suffering is part of the human condition. But what happens when we suffer because of our faith in Christ? In 1 Peter 3:8–22, we are given clear instructions on what to do when we encounter evil as a result of our faith, and how to live well in the midst of suffering.

    Marriage on Mission

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 12, 2025 50:55


    This Sunday, we're tackling one of the most countercultural passages in the Bible—1 Peter 3:1–7. God's design for marriage isn't outdated or oppressive; it's powerful, redemptive, and rooted in the gospel. When husbands and wives live God's way, their homes become living pictures of Christ's love and grace in a confused world.

    Submitting in Babylon

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 5, 2025 48:26


    This Sunday at First Free, we'll see how Peter calls us to a surprising kind of strength: submission. In a world hungry for control, God's people are called to live wise as serpents, innocent as doves—enduring injustice, honoring authority, and standing for truth with eyes fixed on Christ, our Shepherd and Overseer.

    A Holy Longing

    Peter urges believers to desire the pure milk of the word so that by it we may grow up into our salvation. This Sunday, we explore the meaning of desire and urges us to ask “What am I craving?” If we are to live like Jesus, we must learn to crave and desire the spirit of God so that we may grow up into the fullness of life with Jesus.

    It's easy to claim new life in Christ—but what proves it's real? This Sunday, we're asking a bold question: What should your life look like if you've really been born again? Peter gives us the answer—and it's both beautiful and costly.

    David's final recorded words form the basis for the last message in this series. As the king looks back at his life, he realizes that none of his victories and strengths were about him. They all pointed to his descendant and Savior. That's a good way for us to view our own legacies.
