What has God done for us? In 1 Peter 1:3-5, Peter lays out how God’s plan of salvation changes everything. Sometimes, being around church a while, we might get a little used to hearing that or it might feel a little out of reach at times. But Peter wants us to sit with this idea and let it pour over us. Why? Because the ideas in these verses are the foundation for this book and for our lives.

Today is our kick off of 1 Peter at RCC. In those first two verses, there’s a wealth of understanding to be found in the stories of the audience. Who is Peter addressing? What’s on their minds? How does this help us understand the book as a whole? Join us as we launch into Peter’s hope and guidance for Jesus’ church, then and now.

What if your church received a letter from Jesus saying that when He thinks about your church, it makes Him nauseous? Sound crazy? Well, the Church in Laodicea received such a letter. This weekend in the final message in our “To the Church” series, we’re going to explore why this church was described in such stark terms by Jesus, and how we, both as a community and as individuals, can avoid making the same mistake.

Our letters to the seven churches in Revelation takes us to Philadelphia this week. It’s a church that doesn’t have a lot of people or power but is faithful and getting challenged by other local groups of faith. So, what does Jesus want this scrappy little church to know in their circumstances? That God will remain faithful and honor their faithfulness. What a gift!

This week in our To the Church…series we’re headed to Sardis (Rev 3:1-6). The church is Sardis is considered to be in pretty good shape by their culture but Jesus tells them that they are actually “dead”. How can that be? What could a church be doing that gains cheers from their people but challenges from Jesus?

The church in Thyatira isn't living like God has called them to (Rev 2:18-29). Not only are they allowing cultural challenges into the church, but their own actions have drifted from who God calls us to be. Can Thyatira's wake-up call be a wake-up call for us today?

This week, we'll look at Jesus' rebuke of the Church in Pergamum. Even though they are in a tough town, Jesus still expects them to live like a church that trusts God completely. What can we learn from God's message to Pergamum?
