1 Peter was written to teach us how to remain faithful and content in the midst of the heavy trials of our mortal life on earth, this "time of your sojourn." We are taught the purpose and character of trials, seeing in them the sanctifying work of the Spirit revealing the genuineness of our God-given and, therefore, invincible, enduring faith.

This series of messages was part of an exposition of the book of 1 Peter by Dave Rich, a pastor at Kootenai Community Church.

    Jesus Christ, the Living Stone (1 Peter 2:4-10)

    Jesus Christ, the Living Stone (1 Peter 2:4-10)

    Dave Rich explores the significance of Jesus Christ as the living stone in 1 Peter 2:4-10. Highlighting how one’s valuation of Christ impacts their eternal destiny, Rich emphasizes that esteeming Jesus as precious and chosen by God leads to salvation and spiritual blessings. Conversely, rejecting the living stone results in spiritual peril. This sermon urges believers to align their lives with the cornerstone of their faith.

    Longing for the Word (1 Peter 2:1-3)

    Longing for the Word (1 Peter 2:1-3)

    God's will for every believer is their sanctification. That is the purpose of this life, with all of its trials and temptations. God has given us His word as a means of sanctification, but to gain from it, we must first put away our sins. Putting away sin and desiring God's word is impossible apart from the regenerating, converting work of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the gospel, we are made new creatures, fully capable of warring against our sins, loving God's word, and moving upward to conform to the likeness of our Lord. An exposition of 1 Peter 2:1-3

    Love is a Good Investment (1 Peter 1:23-25)

    Love is a Good Investment (1 Peter 1:23-25)

    Peter commands believers to love one another fervently and from the heart. This kind of love is not without sacrifice, but this investment of love is guaranteed to result in eternal benefit. Because our new life has its source in God's word, and because God's word endures forever, we can have confidence that the relationships we build with other believers are also eternal. We will forever share in the benefits of the sacrificial love we share on this side of eternity. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:23-25.

    Peter's Command to a Comprehensive Love (1 Peter 1:22)

    Peter's Command to a Comprehensive Love (1 Peter 1:22)

    Every Christian loves other believers. By living in obedience to the truth of God's Word, we grow in sanctification, increasing in our love for one another to the point where our love can be described as sincere. We are commanded to push that love to its limits, both in its depth and breadth outward toward other believers, and also inwardly through all of the faculties of the inner person. We are to love one another comprehensively, and that love is not to be done against our affections, reason, or will. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:22-25.

    Secure in the Plan of Redemption (1 Peter 1:20-21)

    Secure in the Plan of Redemption (1 Peter 1:20-21)

    This passage provides further comfort to suffering saints by providing assurance that the pactum salutis, God's eternal plan of redemption, and all that arises from that plan, including the sanctifying trials of life, are for the sake of those of us who are believers in Christ. For this reason, we may trust completely in Christ not only for our ultimate salvation but in and through all of the otherwise mystifying events of our short lives on this planet. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:20-21.

    A King’s Ransom (1 Peter 1:18-19)

    A King’s Ransom (1 Peter 1:18-19)

    Christians have been purchased from slavery to sin at an incredibly high price, the death of the eternal Second Person of the Divine Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ. Contemplation of this reality is great motivation for lives of obedience. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:18-19.
