Be Reconciled to God
God took the initiative to pursue reconciliation with us when He sent Jesus Christ as an ambassador to pay the penalty for our sin. More than that, He rose from the dead to give us new life and the opportunity to serve Him as ambassadors of reconciliation in a world drowning in conflict. This message from 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2 encourages us to remember that as citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to respond to conflict in a radically different way ... a way that leads to reconciliation.

When Life Isn’t Fair
As we move to the final verses of 1 Peter chapter 2, the Apostle is dealing with injustice. It is in these verses that we learn that every follower of Christ has the same calling. That calling is that we are to handle injustice the very same way that Christ handled it. Join us as we look at the impossible path that every disciple is called to walk upon.

1 Peter 1:18-25
Motivation for Being Faithful
It’s a common trait to want to take the path of least resistance. For the original recipients of Peter’s first letter, the path of least resistance was to pull back on their commitment to Christ. To encourage these early followers of Christ, Peter lays out at the end of chapter one some strong motivation to be faithful. Join us as we seek to be motivated in our walk with Christ.
