Peter can be compared to a skilled health practitioner who upon assessing a patient's physical condition, prescribes a regimen of beneficial supplements to reinforce the immune system, muscle strength, and endurance. Similar to a nutritionist who might recommend vitamins, foods, or activities designed to fortify heath and vitality, Peter addresses the spiritual health of the early church in a similar way prescribing a regimen of supplements designed to fortify her faith. Consider the vast array of challenges the church has endured over the last 20 plus centuries. I was reminded recently of one of the earliest threats prophesied in Luke 17 which came by way of Roman conquest surrounding Jerusalem in A.D. 70. While the devastation to cultural jewish life and religious practice was monumental, including the destruction of the temple and the sacrificial practices of the Old Covenant, believers escaped this holocaust by paying heed to the Word of God delivered by way of prophecy through Jesus Himself. One of the distinguishing moments of the New Testament church came by way of fleeing to the hills at this time when Jerusalem was surrounded by enemies. Through Peter's writings the church of all ages is granted means to survive spiritual attack as well. The enemies of Jesus will never ultimately defeat the Body of Christ who heeds these words. The gates of hell will not prevail against the properly equipped church. Let us wisely assess our times and pay heed to these words in II Peter, that we may be sufficiently fortified...
Pastor Nate brought the message, "Arm Yourself” from 1 Peter 4:1-11. How are Christians to live in a world that increasingly grows hostile toward them? Through Peter, God commands you to arm yourself with Christ's way of thinking, trust Him with ultimate justice, and to be encouraged that you have an alternate community, the church family, where love and encouragement should be readily found.
Pastor Michael P. Walther from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church joins Pastor Wright and Vicar Leeper to discuss how Jesus opens up scripture to reveal who it is all about: himself. Through Peter's Sermon in Acts 3, we hear the damning line, "you killed the author of life", while also receiving the good news that God raised him from the dead for us. They also talk about Jesus' appearance to his disciples, where he asks for some take-out - broiled fish. "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

When salvation and sorcery meet each other, expect the Lord to conquer the spiritual battlefield. In Acts 8, a sorcerer, named Simon, comes to hear the word of God and accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Through Peter's confrontation with Simon, we learn that Christianity is much more than a label. Brothers and sisters, surrender your heart to the Lord as he continues to engage with you.

Through Peter's powerful word pictures, Christ warned us about the character of false teachers.-What are false teachers like--1. As disappointing as a water-source that is dry. -v.17--2. As stuck as a slave in chains. -v.18-19--3. As endlessly filthy as a scavenger dog or a pig. -v.20-22--Applying- How can we identify a bad religious teacher--When does a person become worse off- Luke 11-24-26-To whom is one a slave- Rom.6-16 John 8-34.-How could a good teacher 'go bad'- Think Judas in Mark 6-12-13.
Through Peter's denials of Christ, we see a picture of the deceptive fruits of human sinfulness in contrast with the amazing power of God's grace to preserve and restore His sheep.
In this episode, we look at the catalytic event that helped to open the door for the Kingdom to advance to the ends of the world. Through Peter entering into an altered state of consciousness (trance), the Gospel began to be shared in great measure to many people. These types of encounters are not to be simply a mysterious type of phenomena but also carry practical outcomes. Even Jesus Himself had a trance. Yes, you are reading this correctly. We will look at this incredible moment within scripture. God has so many different ways He can deliver messages to His children and a trance is just one of the unique ways He can get through to us.

Each of us has the opportunity to live with great expectation and anticipation—Jesus has made each of us a new creation! This Sunday Pastor Josh preached a message out Peter and John’s encounter with the lame man by the temple gates. Through Peter and John’s faith in the power of Christ within them, they were able to give the lame man more than he was asking for—they not only gave him physical strength and healing but they gave him access to Jesus. By putting our own faith in action, we can now reach out to others and give them the same access of Christ inside us.
In spite of the doubt and desertion of his disciples, Jesus never gave up on them. He gave them the gift of the Spirit at Pentecost. Through Peter’s sermon, we are assured that God will never give up on us—and we shouldn’t give up on others.

During this 3rd Resurrection appearance (John 21), Peter is confronted with his limitations. Jesus accepts Peter's honest assessment of his own capacity to love, phileo (familial love) rather than agape (selfless love). Through Peter's failure, denying his Lord three times, and confessing his limited capacity to love, he is entrusted with Shepherding the flock of Jesus. Jesus transforms us through our failures.

Through Peter’s miraculous release, we discover where true strength is found in the Kingdom of God.
Throughout the book of 1 Peter we have been learning what it means to suffer righteously as Christ-followers. In 4:12, Peter wrote, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.” And now, as he is wrapping up this letter, he pastorally warns his recipients of a specific cause of such trial, the devil. Peter exhorts his readers to not be numb to the reality that Christ-followers have a real adversary who seeks to destroy all that God desires. Through Peter’s encouragement, hopefully we can be more prepared as a church to withstand the attacks of our enemy and continue to live uncommon lives for the glory of God.
