In this message, I’ll explore how we can support our brothers and sisters around the world who face persecution for their faith. We all experience wounds in this life, and God desires to use them to deepen our compassion and inspire active love for those facing mistreatment and persecution. Have a listen.

How do we discern between truth and error? Discernment is critical for every believer to develop. The apostle Peter has told us in chapter one what to look for-apostolic witness, God's Word and the Lordship of Jesus. In this passage, he outlines the difference between false and faithful teachers. Have a listen!

Think the Bible is just a human book? Consider this: 40 authors, 1,500 years, three continents—yet the message is perfectly unified. From creation to redemption to Christ's return, there's one consistent thread. That's not human coordination. That's divine preservation.  Have a listen!

We sometimes forget what matters most and remember what does not. In this message, I will explore the discipline of spiritual remembering: recalling the truths of the gospel and anticipating the second coming of Jesus. Practicing this discipline can be remarkably helpful. Have a listen!

In this message, our missionary and administrator, Linda Carlson, explores the responses to the question, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Recently returned from France, she draws on insights from conversations there. How do you answer the question, “Who is Jesus?” A prophet, a good teacher, or more? Have a listen!

How can I know that I have received salvation from the Lord? Should my life look different? This message will focus on Blessed Assurance: Building a Firm Foundation. We will see it through the lives of those being baptized. Spiritual progress not perfection. We are saved by faith alone but the faith that saves is never alone. 

Your best life doesn't come from chasing more of what the world offers, it comes from centering everything on Christ. And the beautiful news is that this can begin today, right where you are—not once you're perfect. Through the power of the Holy Spirit already at work in you, growth happens step by step: faith building into virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, and love, even through suffering and hardship, which God can use to shape you rather than derail you. So bring your whole heart before God, let Him examine and renew you, and trust that as you grow closer to Him, your capacity to love others outwardly will overflow from the love He has already poured into you.

No matter how far gone you feel or how impossible someone else's change seems, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you — and God has already given you everything you need, through His promises and His Spirit, to become who He's calling you to be. Keep turning toward Him each day, hold onto His promises, and trust that He is not only able to save you, but able to sustain you all the way to the end.

Have a listen as Abraham shares why and how we pray. Our Lord has given us great instruction on how to pray. The disciples asked Jesus, "teach us how to pray." May the Lord use this message to help us increase our prayer lives.

Paul's letter to Philemon is almost an after-thought for many people. It is a small book and has almost no obvious theological points to make for its readers. But it is quietly revolutionary. Paul takes what was a serious problem for himself on a personal level and gives us insight to the great lesson for how we as Christians can elevate others. 

John Lloyd - Great Thoughts from I Peter

Trials can either break us down or build our faith. God uses every trial to strengthen our walk with Him, and we can surrender our burdens because He cares for us. Jesus proved His love through His death, burial and resurrection. Our response: "I surrender all." It's humble surrender! Have a listen!

This message deals with a crucial need for the church today: shepherds. The apostle Peter defines the responsibilities: lead, feed and protect God's people.  It's this kind of care that guides us to green pastures and keeps us healthy in our relationship with God. Jesus is our Great Shepherd. He has modeled it all for us.

A beautiful reminder of how Jesus is our Savior. He saves us from our false idols that we put our trust in. He answers when we realize we cannot do it on our own.  We cry out to the Lord.  He is our Savior!

Suffering! It can't be avoided. How then should I handle it? Are trials just a temporary inconvenience that I should get through as fast as possible? Have a listen as the focus will be on Making My Trials More Purposeful. Is it possible that God could use trials to make me more like His Son Jesus? Make me more like Jesus!
