Most people think of “Pilgrims” as that group of early American settlers who traveled across the Atlantic four centuries ago in pursuit of religious liberty.
Peter had a different kind of pilgrim in mind when he wrote his first epistle: God’s saints who have been called to sojourn through this world.
Please join us this Lord’s Day as we continue to examine and apply the First Epistle of Peter or listen to past sermons online. (more…)
Do you feel at home in this world?
Far too many Christians do… and they really need to consider how the saints of old felt while living their lives in such a strange land.
Pastor McShaffrey preached this sermon in preparation for our next sermon series on First Peter and we invite you to join us for worship over the next several weeks as we continue on this theme.
“O Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations….”
This sermon was preached in preparation for the new year by Pastor McShaffrey.
When we think of the mother of Jesus, we usually think first of the blessed virgin Mary (and this is completely appropriate and biblical).
However, and if I were to ask you to think about Jesus’ grandmothers, my suspicion is that you might start thinking about similarly sanctified women who had halos over their heads and harps in their hands.
That is why the genealogy (i.e., family tree) of Jesus is so important; for it gives us a far more realistic record of the kind of women God chose to bring forth the Messiah.
