Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth

1 Peter 4:12-19

It’s not easy being a Christian today. It never has been. Jesus said that would be the case. We need a deeper joy, a deeper hope to live for to make it through. Easter gives us that living hope. But don’t be surprised by the suffering. Jesus experienced it too. Rejoice in it! It’s proof you belong to Him! Don’t be ashamed – be honored! We have nothing to fear about the future – but everything to look forward to! We are in the hands of the God who loved us so much He suffered for us and gave his life for us!

Welcome to Divine Savior Church
Series: 1 Peter - The Living Hope of Easter
Message: Living For God
Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-11

Description:
Discover the profound hope we have in Jesus, who understands our struggles intimately. He faced ridicule, abandonment, and humiliation, all for us. His sacrifice gives us the ultimate reason to live for Him, even when it's challenging or means facing our own suffering.

Our greatest battle often lies within us, fighting our sinful desires. But with God's help, we can transform our hearts and minds, leading to a change in our behavior. Living for God means embracing self-control, wisdom, love, hospitality, service, and generosity. Together, as the body of Christ, we can live with purpose and hope, even in difficult times.

Welcome to Divine Savior Church
Series: 1 Peter - The Living Hope of Easter
Message: Better To Suffer For Doing Good
Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

1 Peter 3:8-22

It’s not easy to suffer. We want to fight back and get revenge. But as Jesus followers, we live a new way. We don’t repay evil with evil, but evil with good. We are called to actively bless people! Even hard-to-bless people! If we are afraid of people, we will keep our mouths shut and not share the life-giving hope we have to share. Let’s remember the living hope of Easter. That will open our mouths and give us reason to share our hope. We have a living, eternal hope! Death is not the last word. The faith the Holy Spirit has given us brings us into that hope. Our “suffering” will lead to hope for many!

Welcome to Divine Savior Church
Series: 1 Peter - The Living Hope of Easter
Message: Joint Heirs In Life
Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

1 Peter 3:1-7
Acts 8:26-39, John 13:31-37

Christian husband and wives are an object lesson to the world of Jesus’ love for us. They submit to one another and love each other the way Jesus loves the church. This isn’t always easy. And we don’t like to deal with words like “submit.” But there is a beauty here in how God uses husbands and wives, equal and joint partners, heirs together of his salvation and blessings, not only to love each other, but to share his gospel with the world. It is a beauty that never fades. It isn’t weakness – it shows strength. This lesson will help husbands and wives live out the calling God has given us.

Welcome to Divine Savior Church
Series: 1 Peter - The Living Hope of Easter
Message: Follow In His Steps
Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

1 Peter 2:13-25
Acts 4:1-12, John 16:27-28,33

We live in two different kingdoms – the kingdom of the world, and God’s kingdom. As citizens of this kingdom, we are called to submit to the governing authorities. It is part of how we honor God. But we do this remembering there is one true King, and He isn’t voted in. We honor our leaders, but we worship The King. Our submission shows worship to our heavenly King. The truth is, we are free. Free in Jesus – in the living hope of Easter. So let’s live as free people. But as servants honoring God. We aren’t the first to suffer. Jesus did for us. Let’s follow in his steps. We will never have to suffer what He did. And at moments of unjust suffering, we will discover whom we truly worship!

Message: The Greatest Building, The Greatest Story
Preacher: Pastor Ben Kuerth
Service Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am

1 Peter 2:1-12

Jesus purified us and made us new - God's special possession! So it doesn’t make sense to keep living the way we used to. Let’s live new lives, imitating Him. Loving the hard-to-love. Let’s grow in our faith by continuing to be fed with his Word. Devour it! He is building us into a building – the greatest building – a spiritual building – His Church! The greatest building with the greatest story! He is the cornerstone and foundation. Our purpose is to glorify God in the world around us with our lives, our words, and our witness!

It’s not easy being a Christian in our world. The living hope of Easter makes it easier, it makes it possible. We learn how to think with hope and how to live with hope. The way we live shows what we are hoping in. God made us “strangers” in this world with the new home He has promised us. Do we live as strangers? Or do we forget that there is more than this? We won’t enjoy living with the love of God until we have the right fear of God. What Jesus did for us at Easter gives us all the reason in the world for hope and for living differently!

Grief. Suffering. Hardship. Loss. These experiences can cause hopelessness. We need a deeper joy, a deeper hope to live for to make it through. Easter gives that to us. So does the fact that God was thinking about us since before creation! The God who chose us before time began isn’t going to let go of us now. The future we have to look forward to will make everything worth it. That gives us reason for joy. Our suffering isn’t meaningless – it focuses us ever more sharply on the inheritance waiting for us.
