What does it look like to live a faith that truly stands out? In this message from 1 Peter 2:9-12, Pastor Joshua Parriera teaches how God has called His people to be different, not for our own glory, but to reflect His. As followers of Christ, we are chosen, set apart, and sent into the world to proclaim His goodness through both our words and the way we live. In a culture that often pulls us in the opposite direction, this passage challenges us to live with holiness, integrity, and a steadfast faith that points others to Jesus. Whether you're exploring Christianity or have followed Christ for years, we pray this message encourages you to stand firm in your identity and faithfully represent Christ wherever He has placed you.

What does it mean to refuse spiritual mediocrity? In this message from our Steady Faith series, Pastor Joshua Parriera teaches from 1 Peter 1:13-16, where the apostle Peter calls believers to prepare their minds for action, set their hope fully on the grace of Jesus Christ, and pursue a life marked by holiness. Far too often, it's easy to settle for a comfortable faith that requires little sacrifice or transformation. But Peter reminds us that God has called His people to something greater. Because we belong to a holy God, we are called to live holy lives, not to earn His love, but as a response to the living hope we have in Christ. Join us as we discover what it looks like to reject complacency, pursue obedience, and live with a faith that remains steady in every season.

What sustains us when life is difficult? What gives us confidence when everything around us seems uncertain? In this message, Pastor Joshua Parriera walks through 1 Peter 1:3–9, exploring the living hope believers have through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Peter reminds us that our hope is not rooted in our circumstances, but in an imperishable inheritance kept in heaven for us. Even through trials and suffering, God is at work, refining our faith and preparing us for an eternal joy that far outweighs our present struggles. Join us as we discover how the gospel gives us a living hope that endures, strengthens, and anchors us through every season of life. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3–9 (ESV) "According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
