Worship Leader: Mark Estes Speaker: Dave Royes (Senior Pastor) Title: Arm Yourselves Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-6 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the wa...

Worship Leader: Matt Griffith Speaker: Dave Royes (Senior Pastor) Title: If That Should Be God’s Will Scripture: 1 Peter 3:17-4:1 Outline: “A wonderful text is this, and a more obscure passage perhaps than any other in the Testament, so that I do not know for a certainty just what Peter means. . . . I cannot understand and I cannot explain it. And there has been no one who has explained it” ~ Martin Luther 1. A Better Way to Suffer 2. A Living Proof in Jesus 3. A Mature Way to Think For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did...

12/7/25 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship leader: Randy Helper Speaker: Dave Royes Title: Beautiful Conduct and the Glory of God (Part 2) Scripture: 1 Peter 2:18-25 “Keep your conduct among the gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.” 1 Peter 2:12 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he wa...

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:10-12 Speaker: Dave Royes, Senior Pastor Worship Leader: Matt Lambert Title: Salvation's Past 1 Peter 1:10-12 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time[a] the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. Notes: Main point: Seeing the transmission of God's grace helps us to treasure God's grace 1. Introduction A. Dinner and a tour B. A glimpse to help us savor the Gos...

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:12-18 Title: Earthly Suffering, Eternal Glory Worship Leader: Matt Lambert Speaker: Steve Estes So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. [But] It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix ou...
