St. Peter’s Lutheran | Genesis | June 23, 2024 | Pastor Tim Carter | From one family to an entire world, sin corrupts everything it touches. With the world's wickedness greater than ever, God’s judgment comes in the form of a worldwide flood. But just as He has already shown, God’s grace flows as deeply as the waters of the flood did. Inviting Noah and His family into the ark he provides a way of salvation, foreshadowing the coming of Jesus, who baptizes us in water and spirit and provides the way of salvation.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | What About This? | April 14, 2024 | Pastor John Cordrey | “Who am I?” or “How do I identify?” These questions have become more important and more heated than ever before, especially as we wrestle with the topic of human sexuality. Human Sexuality is an essential and important part of our identity as well as a gift from God. Scripture defines for us how sexuality and identity come together and what God’s original design and intent for sexuality was. In a world awash with emotions, incongruences, attractions, and rhetoric, the Bible brings clarity to who we are as sexual beings and defines our identity through the redemption we have in Jesus.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | Ascension | May 12, 2024 | Pastor John Cordrey | The church is sent into the world. Not to be of it, but to be in it. At the Ascension of Christ, the church receives its mission and begins to move into the world filled with the full measure of joy in Christ Jesus.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | Pentecost | May 19, 2024 | Pastor Adam Rodriguez | The church is empowered on its mission by the Holy Spirit who comes to guide the church in all truth, and to testify to the truth. Filled with the Holy Spirit, the disciples, and the church today testifies to the work of Christ Jesus.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | Trinity Sunday | May 26, 2024 | Pastor Tim Carter | The church’s message is clear, God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Everything we do, and everything we live for as the church and disciples of Jesus, ought to be founded upon this reality. As we are sent, and empowered to testify, the message remains the same, Christ died for you, believe and trust in Him and receive eternal life.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | What About This? | April 7, 2024 | Pastor Adam Rodriguez | As the world might perpetuate a line between science and faith, scripture actually does not do this at all. Scripture teaches that these two work in tandem together. However, faith and science answer tell us two different things. Science looks to tell us what this world is. Faith tells us why things are, and what we do with these things in order to help our neighbor flourish. Science introduces God’s creation to us. Faith introduces our Savior to us.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | What About This? | April 21, 2024 | Pastor John Cordrey | For many followers of Jesus, the idea of struggles, grief, pain, mourning, and mental health are experiences that often seem separated or even divorced from the Christian life. There is a belief (though not Scriptural) that the Christian should only and always experience joy, after all, we are new creations in Christ. As illogical as this sounds, unfortunately, many have erroneously embraced a “joy only” life and have forgotten that God makes room for mourning, sorrows, struggles, and pain. If we expect the gospel to bring peace to us now, we also must make room for this pain. We must learn to embrace God’s mercy found in lamenting.

St. Peter’s Lutheran | What About This? | April 28, 2024 | Pastor Adam Rodriguez | We find ourselves in yet another election cycle. In 6 short months you will find yourself asking the question: who should I vote for? While the church will never tell you who to vote for, the church will stand up and point up times where faith and life intersect. And this is painstakingly true in an election cycle. As followers of Jesus we are not called to fuel the fire of hate and anxiety that has become the norm of elections. Rather, we are called to inject peace and stability into the conversations. How do we do that? Because we know how the story is going to end.
