This message serves as an introduction to our upcoming Thursday Night sermon series on 1 Peter starting Thursday, September 10th.

Peter was far from perfect—but God used him anyway. In this message, we look at Peter’s journey from an ordinary fisherman to a powerful leader in the early church, including his failures, his struggle to control the narrative, his denial of Jesus, and ultimately his restoration. Peter’s story reminds us that God doesn’t require perfection; He looks for people who will yield to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work through their lives.

In an upside-down world, James calls believers to live right-side up by God’s standards. Continuing through James 1, this message explores how we should view wealth and poverty, remain steadfast through trials, resist temptation, and keep eternity in focus. Rather than being shaped by the culture around us, we’re challenged to follow the light of God, embrace His good gifts, and live faithfully for Jesus with eternity in mind.

In Part 5 of this 12-Step Life Recovery Journey mini-series, we explore the power of confession—admitting to God, ourselves, and another person the exact nature of our wrongs. Holding onto secrets, guilt, and shame can lead to isolation, fear, emotional and spiritual turmoil, and even increase the danger of relapse. But confession brings freedom and opens the door to healing.

Through Scripture, humility, and the support of trusted mentors, sponsors, and Christian friends, we can break free from self-deception and begin the process of becoming whole. Discover why confession is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous step toward healing and freedom in Christ.

What does it really mean to know God? There is a profound difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This message explores what Scripture teaches about drawing near to God by faith, trusting Him when our faith is tested, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our lives. As we know Jesus more deeply, our faith becomes more than knowledge—it produces worship, humility, obedience, joy, and a life that reflects Christ to those around us. Ultimately, Jesus tells us that knowing God is eternal life.
