Manage episode 413624727 series 3348383
Dive into "Living Well in a Culture of Chaos" with Pastor Kelly Kinder, as he launches the "Grace Under Fire" sermon series. Kelly presents a stirring look into the life of the Apostle Peter, whose transformation from a denier of Christ to a stalwart of faith provides a template for navigating today's tumultuous world with divine grace.
In this opening sermon, we explore the intriguing identity of believers as 'elect exiles' and the tension it creates—being chosen by God yet often feeling on the fringes of society. This tension serves to strengthen our resolve and mold our character in the likeness of Christ.
Kelly examines the essence of Christian hope, drawing from Peter's first letter to illustrate how we are reborn into a living hope that far surpasses the temporary assurances of this life. This living hope is underpinned by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, promising an inheritance that is eternal and unblemished.
The sermon series confronts the majesty of salvation, inviting us to reflect on this grace that even the prophets longed to understand and into which angels desire to look. It's a call to root our lives firmly in the gospel, using our faith as both a shield against trials and a restorative force for our internal divisions.
Kelly's teachings guide us through the realities of new birth, the certainties of real faith, and the privileges of amazing grace. We are encouraged to see our trials as opportunities for our faith to be tested and refined, emerging more precious than gold.
"Grace Under Fire" promises to be a beacon of hope, inviting you to strengthen your spirit and inspire a faith that, like gold refined by fire, emerges stronger through adversity. Whether you're seeking understanding, comfort, or encouragement, this series offers a rich trove of spiritual wisdom for living well, even in the most challenging times.
Embrace this opportunity to fortify your faith with Pastor Kelly, as we learn to navigate the cultural chaos with the grace and assurance that come from a life rooted in Christ.
