    Leaving A Spiritual Legacy

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 620 views

    What will you leave behind when your life on earth is over? The Scriptures tell us that a spiritual legacy is far more valuable and lasting than any financial inheritance.

    As I look back over the first 65 years of my life [65 years, two months, and two weeks, to be precise, tick tock], I’ve been thinking a bit more about what difference my life has made so far, what more I would like to accomplish, and what I will be leaving behind, when eventually I “shuffle off ...read more

     | 309 views

    Those to whom Peter wrote 1 Peter were experiencing persecution for their faith. Peter instructs them not to be surprised. This sermon examines four reasons why people are surprised by suffering, and why they shouldn't be.

    Years ago, when my wife and I were expecting . . . And notice that I didn’t say, “when my wife and I were pregnant”. That seems to be a thing these days, with husbands and wives saying, “we’re pregnant”. And I know it’s intended as a way for the husband to express solidarity with his wife, and to ...read more

     | 203 views

    Peter instructs us to regard suffering as a test of our faith, one that we can pass by rejoicing in suffering.

    This morning, we resume our study of a letter written by the apostle Peter, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, sometime around 62-64 A.D. This is a general epistle, a letter written to believers scattered throughout five Roman provinces in northern Asia Minor; in what is today the country of Turkey. ...read more

     | 203 views

    Peter gives us a description of how elders should carry out their work. They are shepherds, not administrators.

    As most of you know, my personal biography includes many years as a manager in a large organization, and part of my job was to interview and hire people. Over the years, as the jobs that I was responsible to fill got higher up in the organization, the job descriptions expanded. The years of ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 302 views

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view. Our ...read more

    Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,115 views

    Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

    One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

    Prince Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 21, 2025
     | 90 views

    During the season of Advent, we celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ, the Savior whose arrival was anticipated for centuries by Israel, and whose coming was foretold in the Scriptures. There are many passages in the Old Testament which look forward to Christ, and this morning, I’d like for us to ...read more
