Pastor Jon Meenk preaches out of 1 Peter 1:10-12, showing that the salvation believers now possess is so great that the prophets searched for it, the Spirit testified to it, the gospel announces it, and angels long to look into it. He reminds suffering Christians that their pain must be seen in light of this magnificent salvation, which was planned by God, fulfilled in Christ’s suffering and glory, and placed before us visibly at the Lord’s Table.

Pastor Jeremy Haynes preaches out of 1 Peter 1:6-9, showing that every trial is a crossroad in the wilderness where believers will either be refined by God or put God on trial. He calls the church to rejoice in the secure inheritance, salvation, and new birth they have in Christ, trusting that even grief and testing are being used by the Father to prepare His people for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Pastor David preaches out of 1 Peter 1:3-5, showing that Christians are the new Exodus people who have been born again by God’s great mercy through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He calls the church to live as people of living hope, trusting that their imperishable inheritance is kept by Christ and that God is guarding them by His power until salvation is fully revealed.

Pastor Jon Noyes preaches out of 1 Peter 1:1-2, introducing the letter as a call for Christians to remember that they are chosen exiles: strangers in this world, yet loved by the Father, sanctified by the Spirit, and cleansed by the blood of Christ. He urges the church to resist the pressure to conform, live faithfully in a culture where they do not fully belong, and come to the Lord’s Table remembering they are chosen, cleansed, and kept in Christ.

Pastor Jon Noyes preaches out of Psalm 150, showing that the Psalter ends with praise because darkness, suffering, sin, and death do not get the final word for God’s people. He calls the church to praise God with all of life and every breath, because Christ’s cross and resurrection secure the final hallelujah toward which all creation is moving.

Pastor David Deutsch preaches out of Psalm 115, showing that God’s people must answer the taunts of the nations not by trusting in visible idols or created blessings, but by crying, “Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give glory.” He calls the church to trust the God who is in the heavens and does all that He pleases, and to find all help, security, blessing, and true worship in Christ alone.

Pastor Jon Noyes preaches out of Psalm 13, showing that David’s repeated cry of “How long?” gives believers language for seasons when God feels silent, suffering feels prolonged, and waiting seems unbearable. He points the church to Christ, who bore true forsakenness on the cross, so that even when God’s face feels hidden, Christians can trust His steadfast love and keep praying, rejoicing, and singing by faith.

Pastor Jeremy preaches out of Psalm 67, showing that God blesses His people so that His way, saving power, and praise would spread among all nations. He calls the church to remember God’s promise to bless the nations through Christ, and to participate in that mission through prayer, faith, and ordinary lives offered as a blessing to others.

Pastor Jon Meenk preaches out of Psalm 32, showing that true happiness is found not in hiding sin or pretending we are righteous, but in confessing our sin and receiving God’s complete forgiveness in Christ. Through David’s words, he points to the mercy of God that lifts our burden, covers our guilt, hides us safely in Christ, and turns silent sorrow into shouts of joy.

Pastor David Deutsch preaches out of Psalm 87, calling the church to receive by faith the supernatural reality that God is building His eternal city now, even when it looks ordinary and unimpressive by sight. He warns against reducing faith to mere past belief or reducing the supernatural to apologetics, and urges the church to see herself as Zion: born from above, gathered by Christ, and established as the city that will outlast every kingdom of man.
