SERMONS
At Veritas we are committed to preaching and teaching each week from the Bible about Jesus. Each week we post our sermons online for those of us who are unable to attend our weekly gatherings.
Guest speaker, Professor Chuck Quarels, continued our series in 1 Peter from 1 Peter 2:4-8. He exhorted us to see through the text that Jesus is: the embodiment of the glory of God, the founder of a new people of God, our great high priest, and the final judge.

Guest speaker, Ryan Ross, continued our series in 1 Peter from 1 Peter 2:1-3. In the text there were three main truths of spiritual growth that God wants us to pursue: putting away our sin, craving the word, and growing in our delight of God.

Guest speaker, Tim Stokes, continued our series in 1 Peter and encouraged us to remember three main things: we must sincerely love each other, we must remember that we have been born again, and we must rest in God's wisdom above human wisdom.

Last week was a call to obedience from Peter. This week he tells us to conduct ourselves in the fear of God. The natural question is, what does that mean? Peter is going to help us better understand what the Bible means by “fear.”

In verses 1-12 of 1 Peter, the Apostle Peter reminded us that our hope is not in ourselves but in the grace and salvation of Jesus. As we move into verse 13, we see Peter switch and show us where our human obedience lies. We are saved by Jesus’ grace, and out of our love for him, we strive to be holy and we walk in humble obedience to him.

God has been empowering and partnering with mankind since the beginning of the world through his personal presence, the Holy Spirit. Through the guidance of the Spirit, God accomplishes the writing of the scriptures through prophets, and for the proclaiming of the gospel through preaching.

Suffering is hard. It’s really hard. But, as followers of Jesus, there is a purpose. It’s doing something in us. We are being tested and refined by fire, but like Peter says, we are more precious than gold. And one day, we will see, taste, and experience our full salvation that is more precious than gold.

Often we come to the scriptures it feels like we aren’t fed by God’s word because we are unsure of what to do with it. The simple tools of observation, interpretation, and application help us immensely when seeking to truly understand the real meaning of the text. In 1 Peter 1:3-5 we see simple glorious truths: God is worthy of praise, God has made a way for us to be born again, God is giving us a heavenly inheritance that cannot change, and we are being kept by God through faith.

As we work together as a church to fight to glorify God while enduring suffering, we can’t do it in a “do it ourselves” mentality. We have to be rooted in our identity as sons and daughters of God, and constantly be reminded of what God did for us when he saved us from our sin.

The original letter from Peter would have been passed around throughout the churches of the dispersed and read aloud to the people gathered there. On this Sunday, we wanted to do just that, as well.

After all the meals we’ve seen Jesus eat with people, there is one meal that stands above all. The one that’s full of hope when the bridegroom fully unites with his bride.

In this last part of the gospel of Luke we, like the disciples, are invited to see and to trust Jesus, the scriptures, and the promise of the Spirit.

This story of disciples that knew the facts but couldn’t see Jesus makes us ask the question: What does it take for someone to see Jesus as their hope? Through the text we see that there must be opening of their eyes by Jesus himself to see him and believe. And it’s often in the mundane things that Jesus ultimately reveals himself.

There is a great invitation from Jesus to join the banquet of his kingdom, but it is only the humble, who know the worth of the invitation, that enter.

An incredible truth from a familiar parable, the Prodigal Son, that God loves sinners. In this sermon we see that God joyfully demonstrates is love for prodigals and the prideful, at great cost to himself, by sending Jesus to die for us.

God calls us to repent when we forsake Him, but if we don’t, chaos and calamity ensues. Good news for today is that we have deliverance from sin through Jesus Christ our savior.

In this passage Jesus says to the Pharisees and Lawyers: You look ok on the outside, but really you are not ok on the inside. Jesus doesn't ever wound for the sake of inflicting pain. Jesus is going to reveal their deepest faults so that they can be cleansed from within.
