This message was given by Pastor DJ Ritchey on Sunday, June 8, 2025 at Memorial Heights Baptist Church.
This Week at Box Church: Living for God in a World That Doesn't UnderstandPastor Andy led us through a powerful discussion from 1 Peter 4, reminding us that following Jesus means leaving behind our old ways—and sometimes, facing rejection for it. We talked about how your transformed life might make others uncomfortable, but those moments of criticism or mockery are actually opportunities to share the love of Christ.From personal stories to biblical truth, this week's message encouraged us to respond with grace, humor, and boldness when our faith is challenged. If people see a change in you, that's not a bad thing—it's proof that God is at work.We also closed with a timely word for Father's Day: honor your dad, love your spouse, and build the kind of home God is calling you to lead.
Rector's Forum from 6/15/2025 at Church of Our Saviour in Jacksonville, FL.
As Peter starts to bring his first letter to a close, he reminds his readers that all Christians are accountable to our Lord Jesus, and all means “all.” Old and young, leaders and laity, all of us will face Jesus and one of the things He will look for is our humility.

This Sunday, we are joined by Steve Teter as he shares a message titled "Living as God's People" from 1 Peter 5:5b-11.
Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 5:1-16 - Jack Reading Title: Smelling Salts “Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:20-23) “Half of the misery in the world comes from trying to look, instead of trying to be, what one is not.” - George MacDonald 8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1Peter 5:8 NASB95) 7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7 NASB95) “do not give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27 ESV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 6:12 ESV) “if God acted in the same way today that he did in the fifth chapter of Acts, you'd have to have a morgue in the basement of every church and a mortician on the pastoral staff.” - Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse “…you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matt. 16:18 ESV) “Our takeaways from the text should probably be no more and no less than that of the people who witnessed the event: fear and awe. God is a holy God who vanquishes evil and zealously defends his holiness. His judgments are his, and he only makes some of them known. Why did God strike down Ananias and Sapphira rather than give them a chance to repent? How is it that Satan filled Ananias' heart to lie (v. 3) but that Ananias also contrived the sin himself (v. 4)? Why didn't Peter show the same grace toward Ananias and Sapphira that he was shown for his deceit and denial of the Lord (Matt 26:69-75)? We do not know. The text does not speak to these questions, though other passages may help us find answers. Ultimately, though, it's the text that demands an answer from you: Do you fear God?” - F.F. Bruce “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” (2 Cor. 5:10&11 ESV)

Have you ever felt like you could just coast for a little while in your faith—take your foot off the gas and assume everything will be fine?

Have you ever thought that we overcomplicated the simple message of the Christian life?In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, Elect Exiles, from 1 Peter. In this message, Paul defines the fundamental job description of every Christian with three basic commands: live like an alien, fight like a soldier, behave like an ambassador.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.
Today's Promise: 1 Peter 5:4 One day, Jesus will return. When He comes, He will set up His eternal kingdom here on Earth. There will be a new heaven and Earth, and God will dwell among His people. God rewards in heaven those who served Him here on Earth. Your crown of glory will never fade or lose its luster. Its shining glory will last for all eternity. You may not see all the rewards you desire in this life, but you can be confident that your reward is waiting for you when Jesus returns.
The elders are the overseers and shepherds of the church. Peter himself was an elder. So he writes by inspiration and personal experience. - Bill Allen - Tuesday, June 10, 2025
Sunday's Box Church Gathering was full of powerful truth and heartfelt discussion. Sean Blevins led the conversation, tackling tough questions around slavery in Scripture, the fear of God, and what it really means to live as an example of Christ in a world full of division. From honoring God through submission to understanding the difference between worldly fear and holy reverence, this week's gathering reminded us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—and that every person, even the hardest to love, is made in His image.Let's continue being the example, not the excuse.

In this impactful message from guest speaker Carl Kuhl, we dive into 1 Peter 2 to explore how our true identity in Christ shapes the way we live. Carl challenges us to see ourselves the way God does: a hungry infant craving spiritual nourishment, a living stone built on Jesus, and a royal priest invited into God's presence. When we understand who we really are, it changes how we engage with the world around us.This sermon was recorded live at Trace Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a growing church focused on helping people live a God-first life and make an impact in their community.Carl Kuhl is a pastor, author, and church planter passionate about helping people find freedom in Jesus.

We are the treasured possession of God. May we live in obedience and holiness.
In this message, Teaching Pastor Dr. Trent Langhofer begins our new series through the book of 1 Peter. Peter was a follower of Jesus who knew what it felt like to fail, fall short, and question his purpose. But he also discovered the power of grace, restoration, and a living hope through Christ.If you have ever struggled with regret, felt distant from God, or wondered if you can be used again, this episode is for you. Through Peter's journey, we learn that God meets us in our mess and gives us a purpose that lasts.Follow for weekly Bible-based messages from Trace Church that are practical, honest, and centered on Jesus.
Sunday morning service Bible study taught by Pastor Craig Hall of Calvary Chapel Fortuna.
1 Peter was written to believers facing unimaginable persecution-from torture and crucifixions to even being burned alive and used as human torches in Nero's gardens. What can we learn from these first century believers? The book of 1 Peter is a powerful guide for navigating suffering for your faith.In this episode of Remnant Radio, we sit down with leading New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Keener to discuss his commentary on 1 Peter and explore its incredibly relevant message for believers today.Dr. Keener unpacks how the original recipients of 1 Peter were called “foreigners” and “resident aliens,” a term that highlighted their vulnerable status in a hostile world, especially in the face of impending persecution.We dive into crucial themes directly related to suffering and persecution, including:-Seeing ourselves as “foreigners” in this world.-How suffering for Christ became a badge of honor.-Responding to mistreatment with Christlike love, not retaliation.-Standing firm against Satan's attempts to make us fall away through pressure.ABOUT THE GUEST:
