Grace Fellowship Church

Grace Fellowship Church - Week 2 - 2 Peter 1:5-11

In this sermon on 2 Peter 1:5-11, Pastor Tim Garland teaches how believers are called to diligently pursue spiritual growth while resting securely in the finished work of Christ. Peter’s call to supplement faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love does not add anything to our salvation, but describes the ongoing work of sanctification that flows from a faith already established by God’s grace.

Grace Fellowship Church - Week 17 - 1 Peter 5:1-5

In this sermon on 1 Peter 5:1-5, Pastor BJ Strobel teaches on God’s design for leadership within the local church, where Jesus Christ is the Chief Shepherd and elders are called to faithfully shepherd the flock entrusted to their care. Peter calls elders to know, lead, feed, and protect God’s people; not out of compulsion, for personal gain, or by domineering over them, but willingly and eagerly as examples to the flock.

Grace Fellowship Church - Week 16 - 1 Peter 4:12-19

In this sermon on 1 Peter 4:12-19, Pastor Tim Garland teaches how believers are called to respond faithfully to suffering and trials, recognizing that hardship should not be considered strange for those who follow Christ. Peter encourages Christians to rejoice when they share in Christ’s sufferings, to recognize God’s presence with them, and to examine whether their suffering comes from faithfulness to Christ or from the consequences of their own actions.

Grace Fellowship Church - Week 14 - 1 Peter 4:1-6

In this sermon on 1 Peter 4:1-6, Pastor Tim Garland teaches how believers are called to follow the example of Christ by being willing to suffer for obedience rather than returning to slavery under sin. Because Christ has redeemed His people, Christians are called to spend the rest of their earthly lives pursuing the will of God, putting sinful desires to death, and trusting the Holy Spirit to continue His work of sanctification in them.

Grace Fellowship Church - Week 13 - 1 Peter 3:18-22

In this sermon on 1 Peter 3:18-22, Pastor BJ Strobel teaches on Christ’s suffering for sinners and His ultimate victory over death and every spiritual power. While the sermon addresses some of the more difficult questions in this passage; like Peter’s comparison between Noah’s deliverance through the flood and the believer’s baptism; we see Peter's emphasis on the clear truth at its center: Christ, the righteous One, suffered once for the unrighteous to bring us to God, rose victorious from the grave, and now reigns over all things; and believers can endure suffering with confidence, trusting that God will preserve His people and that Christ’s victory is also theirs.
