1 Peter 4:7-11
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Watch the Sermon
Summary: At the end of most years, we have a topical sermon instead of our usual expositional sermon series. The goal in taking a break from our regular diet is to focus in on one particular idea and see what God has to say about that topic. This Sunday we will be studying 1 Peter 4:7-11 and looking at the need for one another in the church. As you prepare for worship this Sunday, coming off the excitement of Christmas, have you thought about what you hope to get out of 2025?
