Following Jesus makes you different. That difference most commonly and brilliantly shows up when life gets hard.This week, we'll be studying 1 Peter 2:4-10 under the theme “You're Not Doing Life Alone.” From the moment we're born, we crave connection—and in Christ, God gives us something better than independence: he makes us part of a living family, built together on a living Savior.Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

When we are struggling, is it better to face it alone or with support from the people who love us and know us best? The answer may seem obvious, but when life gets hard, it can be easy to isolate—and isolation can become dangerous. Today, we looked at Peter’s call for believers to enter into community, engage with the family of Jesus, and offer support to one another in times of hardship and suffering. This kind of life together is one of the greatest gifts Jesus has given us.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us to 1 Peter 5 one final time, where Peter closes his letter by reminding the suffering church to stand firm in the true grace of God. He points to faithful servants like Silvanus and Mark, reminding us that gospel ministry is never carried by one person alone—it takes trusted brothers, restored servants, humble workers, and a church family committed to greeting one another in the love of Christ.Peter ends with peace because peace is what Jesus speaks over His people. After all the suffering, humility, vigilance, shepherding, serving, and standing firm, the final word is not fear—it is peace in Christ. So today, read 1 Peter 5 and remember: stand firm in grace, love the church well, be someone others can count on, and receive the peace that only Jesus gives.

Many of us are carrying burdens God never intended us to carry. We carry worry, fear, anxiety, guilt, and more. Prayer is God's invitation to transfer those burdens from our shoulders to His. The Bible says “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). Prayer is not informing God of something He doesn't know. Prayer is inviting God into something we can't handle. Notes: Luke 18 As God’s child, you don’t need a badge to reach Him. Hebrews 10:19 (NLT)And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. Prayer is the Christian’s secret weapon. There is a right and a wrong way to pray. Prayer is God’s invitation to transfer those burdens He never intended for us to carry from our shoulders to His. God cares about your problem. 1Peter 5:7 (NKJV)Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Jehosaphat called the people together for prayer.2 Chronicles 20:12 God is bigger than your problem. 2 Chronicles 20:6 (NLT)“O LORD, God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who is in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. You are powerful and mighty; no one can stand against you!” Prayer is inviting God into something we can’t handle. God has His perfect timing. Read Luke 18:1–8 We need to be persistent in our prayer.Luke 18:1We all have a choice as to what we will do and to whom we will turn when a crisis hits. We can lose heart or we can pray. We should pray simply because Jesus told us to. We should pray because prayer is God’s appointed way for obtaining things. James 4:2You have not because you ask not. Luke 11:9Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and it will be opened to you. Prayer is the way God helps us to overcome our anxiety and worry. Philippians 4:6 (NLT)Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:7 (NLT)Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Worry is not a virtue but can actually be a sin. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. The judge was the powerful one; the widow was the weaker one. Our loving Father in Heaven is the very opposite of this judge.Luke 18:7 The widowed woman had persistence and a just cause, and that was enough. We have something far greater, a Heavenly Father who already wants to help us. Every prayer is answered:Yes,No,Wait. Read Luke 18:9–14 We look on the outside, God looks on the inside.1 Samuel 16:7 The most religious man in the room went home empty, and the man nobody wanted to sit next to went home justified before God.Some will use prayer as an opportunity to:Brag.Gossip.Impress. Attitude is so very important in prayer. If we pray selfishly, it can hinder our prayers.James 4:2–3 An unforgiving attitude toward another can hinder our prayers.Matthew 6:15 We must confess our sin to God. How do we approach God?Like the widow, with persistence.Like the tax collector, with humility.Like little children. Read Luke 18:15–17 Luke 18:16Let the little children come to me The objective of every parent is to bring their children to Christ. God sees things differently than we do.The weak widow is strong because she prays with persistence.The sinful man’s prayer is heard because he admits his sin.The child is an example for us to follow in approaching God. To be childlike means we come with complete honesty to God. Children come with complete helplessness. We must come in complete dependence on God to be saved and forgiven. Children know how to receive a gift. Come like a child to Jesus right now. Worry is strangling you, guilt is crushing you, and fear won’t let you sleep. Jesus said, “Come unto me all who are burdened with life.” Come to Jesus as you are, a sinner, and become His child.

1 Kings 11; 20 Proverbs 11; 1 Peter 5; 2 Peter 1

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to 1 Peter 5, where Peter calls the church to clothe itself with humility. The younger are called to learn from the wisdom of the elders, and all believers are called to put on the servant-hearted humility of Jesus—the kind of humility that kneels, serves, washes feet, and points every life back to Christ.Peter gives a sobering warning: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Pride puts us in opposition to God, but humility positions us to receive His grace. So today, read 1 Peter 5 and choose humility. Tie it around your life like a servant's apron, serve others well, and let your life show the humble love of Jesus.

Find peace under God's mighty hand. Immerse yourself in a restorative atmosphere of pure worship and heartfelt prayers. This dedicated time of surrender is designed to help you let go of anxiety and renew your spirit.

Why is it so hard to stand out from the crowd? While the world pressures us to conform, God calls us to be holy—set apart for Him. This message explores four motivations for living a holy life: we are God's children, we know better through His Word, we will give an account to Christ, and we have been redeemed by His precious blood. As followers of Jesus, we are called to set our hope fully on Him, resist the pull of the world, and live ready for His return.   Title: Holiness Text: 1 Peter 1:13-21 Speaker: Josh Branham

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to 1 Peter 5, where Peter closes his letter by calling shepherds to lead with humility and the church to live under the mighty hand of God. Peter does not write as someone above the people, but as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings, and one who knows that glory is coming. Wherever there is suffering with Christ, glory is never far behind.This chapter reminds us to cast every anxiety on the Lord because He cares for us, and to stay alert because the enemy prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to separate and devour. We need humble shepherds, faithful sheep, and a unified church that refuses to leave the weak behind. So today, read 1 Peter 5 and remember: your cares are not yours to carry, your enemy is not yours to fear, and your God is mighty enough to hold you.

Most people are not looking for chaos. They're looking for relief.For some people, getting high feels like the only way to slow their thoughts down, breathe deeply, or make life feel manageable again. But what happens when the thing helping you cope slowly becomes the thing you depend on to function?This episode talks about anxiety, peace, coping, and whether escaping your storm is the same thing as actually healing from it.

1 Peter 5:7

Pastor Paul Schultz sits down with Pastor Joseph Muench of Trinity Lutheran Church in Nokomis, Illinois to dig into the baptismal and Exodus theology running through 1 Peter. Before working through the text itself, they lay out two foundational hermeneutical commitments: the Old Testament is the primary background for New Testament language and imagery, and the word and sacrament life of the church is the native context in which documents like 1 Peter were written and heard. With those in place, they begin to show why a Lutheran reading of 1 Peter sees baptism not as an occasional reference but as the lens through which Peter addresses his readers throughout. Part one of two. ----more---- Host: Fr. Paul Schulz Guest: Fr. Josef Muench ----more---- Become a Patron!

For years, women have had one line from the First Epistle of Peter used against them: “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands.” But what did Peter actually mean? What did he say just a few verses later to husbands? And was this passage only about marriage—or was Peter pointing to something bigger about how God’s Kingdom moves through a hostile world?

Send us Fan MailContinuing through Peter's first letter and pursuing a deeper knowledge of God, chapter 2 addresses living our lives as "living stones" in the structure of the Kingdom of God reminding us that we are no longer people without spiritual direction so we must live in accordance with the will of God.  Submitting to the governing authorities is part of God's will for the child of God. 

In this message from 1 Peter 5:8-9, we continue our study of Peter's warning about the reality of spiritual warfare and the believer's response to the devil. Writing to Christians facing persecution, Peter gives four practical commands: stay alert, resist the devil, stand firm in the faith, and remember that you are not alone. We see that Christians are not called to fear the devil, obsess over him, or look for him behind every difficulty. Instead, we are called to be spiritually watchful, grounded in God's truth, and steadfast in our faith. Peter points us to the same lesson Jesus taught His disciples in Gethsemane: watch and pray because temptation is real and the flesh is weak. This sermon also explores how believers resist the enemy through submission to God, worship, prayer, Christian fellowship, and confidence in the truth of God's Word. Just as Jesus answered Satan's temptations with "It is written," Christians overcome by standing firmly on the promises and truth of Scripture. Finally, Peter reminds us that we do not fight alone. Believers around the world share in the same struggles, and God has given His church as a source of encouragement, strength, and perseverance. Through Christ, we can stand firm together and remain faithful until the end. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_dedc79e2ee38412d8ae196514cc80b27.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_c5a43c4964c7424a9ed14339d2d2afc7.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Send us Fan Mail1 Peter is a letter packed with valuable insight and instruction for the believer.  Its 5 chapters declare the glory of God through the lives of obedient believers and how they can achieve victory in this life through the power of Jesus.  

In 1 Peter 5:8–9, Peter closes his letter with a serious warning for suffering Christians: be sober-minded and watchful because the devil is real. Writing to believers facing persecution across the Roman world, Peter reminds them that they are not only enduring earthly opposition but are living in the middle of a spiritual battle. Scripture consistently reveals Satan as a deceiver, accuser, tempter, and enemy who opposes God's truth, attacks God's people, and seeks to destroy faith. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible shows the reality of this adversary and his ongoing war against the people of God. At the same time, this passage points believers to hope and confidence in Christ. Christians are called to resist the devil by standing firm in the faith, remembering they are not alone in their suffering. The enemy may prowl like a roaring lion, but he does not have the ultimate say. Jesus Christ is the sovereign, victorious Savior who came to destroy the works of the devil through His death and resurrection. Our refuge, deliverer, and eternal victory are found in Christ alone, the Lamb of God who rescues His people and secures their future forever. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_0e442a7b762846a48a034a4f59d58185.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_0d696b9c9c5f43b1be0567aa8103841c.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Jeremy Smith • 1 Peter 1:3–1:9 • Commissioned

In a world where following Jesus feels increasingly countercultural, Peter reminds us that we are “elect exiles”—chosen by God, set apart by the Spirit, and sent into the world with a living hope. This message explores what it means to experience “kingdom culture shock” as Christians in a shifting culture, and how Peter calls believers to neither retreat from the world nor conform to it, but to live faithfully as citizens of heaven. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading—a living hope that sustains us through rejection, suffering, and uncertainty.   Title: Living Hope Text: 1 Peter 1:1-5 Speaker: Josh Branham
