Pancake Breakfast, Graduates and Summer Camps!
Dear Church,
As we continue through the first letter that Peter wrote to the early church, I’m curious what themes God is bringing to your attention or what actions He is calling you to do? I’d love to hear. Share with me here: pastorjosh@stillnaz.com.
God keeps bringing to my attention the “exile” theme, where Peter recognizes that the people who have been “called out of darkness into His wonderful light” (2:9) are “foreigners and exiles” (2:11) in this world. But I am challenged that Peter calls these “exiles” not to live opposed to people in the world, but to live as good neighbors and “show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor” (2:17).
God, help us live without fear of others, and live with reverence for Your Son.
Jesus, thank You for giving us an example of living with love in the face of hate and for giving your life “to bring [us] to God” (3:18).
Spirit, keep before us your eternal goodness and strengthen us to “continue to do good” (4:19).
We are passionate about helping people of all ages experience being called out of darkness into God’s wonderful light, and especially creating environments for our young people to hear God’s voice and follow His Call. That’s why we celebrate our Grads and why we encourage families to send their kids and teens to summer camp. Read the details below…
