Writing to Christians, Peter and Jude address their readers as exiles, or sojourners who are living in the world, but citizens of another kingdom. These New Testament writers encourage believers to stand firm on the Word of God, to remain in the love of Christ, and to be a light and engage this foreign world in the power of Spirit.
Join us for this Fall 2024 series entitled "Steady Sojourners" as we pray and study the books of 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude. Through these books we will be strengthened in the assurance of our faith, we will learn to have joy in suffering, and we will grow in unity and focus for our mission as the Church, all the while becoming steady sojourners in a foreign and turbulent land.
As Christians’ minds and wills are shaped by the Holy Spirit to reflect the righteousness of Christ, their lives will convey the righteousness of Christ. Unbelievers may respond to this righteous living with repentance and faith, but some may respond in anger and going out of their way to make Christians suffer.
Join us as we look to 1 Peter 4:1-11 and how the Apostle encourages us to think like Jesus and endure suffering righteously.
In his suffering, Christ revealed a compassionate, kind, and loving disposition that Christians are to emulate as they will inevitably suffer for the sake of Christ.
Join Jerrod as he preaches from 1 Peter 3:8-22 and communicates that God calls Christians be sensitive sojourners who suffer well.
Marriage is a wonderful, God-ordained institution between a man and a woman. In marriage, God transforms the lives of married couples. Join Jerrod as he expounds on the heart of 1 Peter 3:1-7 and encourages and equips men and women in marriage to live holy lives before God and serve as an example to others.
Continuing the understanding that God redeems his people to reflect his holiness, Brad shows us from 1 Peter 2:18-25 that even in unjust suffering, God's holiness is revealed. The Gospel fuels both our obedience and our endurance to remain steady as faithful witnesses to God's excellencies.
Jerrod shows us from out of 1 Peter that God has called his people to love and to live holy lives in any and every human institution he places us in. First, we will study what Peter states about living as Kingdom citizens under the authority of our government in 1 Peter 2:11-17.
Before Peter addresses honoring authority, work, marriage, and suffering faithfully as sojourners (in 1 Peter 2:11) Peter aims to bolster the faith of his readers on the living and abiding Word of God.
Join us as Hector expounds on Peter's letter revealing that our spiritual growth, our worship, our confidence, and our identification is all based on God’s continued work.
After his initial section in Chapter 1, Peter gives us three requirements in order to stay steady in holy living, fearing God, and loving one another well. Join us as Jerrod expounds on these requirements from 1 Peter 1:13-25.
This sermon from Jerrod Rumley marks the beginning of Shadowbrook Church's fall 2024 series "Steady Sojourners" - a study in 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude.
