God's will is “good, pleasing, and perfect” (Romans 12:2) Suffering will test you, but the “tests” don’t come from God (or from the will of God). Life will supply many tests and trials. It is God’s will that you respond...

Rev. Paul J. Miller – Sermon Outline – March 8, 2026 “’Holy’, Who, Me?” – 1 Peter 1:13-2:3 What does “holy” mean? Sacred, hallowed, set apart, wholeness To be “holy” is not moral content, but positional intent. What...

Rev. Paul J. Miller – Sermon Notes – March 1, 2026 “What a Great Salvation!” - 1 Peter 1:1-12 BY HIS GRACE, WE ARE AT PEACE (v1-2) “God’s elect”? – The “elect” is the church worldwide “foreknowledge”? – God “chose” to...

Peter is one of the most well-known figures of the New Testament. Leader to the core, his passionate impulses led to both his best and worst moments. Jesus groomed him so he'd be ready to lead the church at Pentecost...
