Unshakable Faith
Faith in Jesus doesn’t erase hardships. We still cry, we mourn at loss, and we are still saddened by our fallen world. But you can remind yourself that it will be okay. You will still be hurt. You will still be wounded. But we know that one day, our wounds will be healed because, as Isaiah 53 says, “by his wounds, we are healed.” Peter explains that an unshakable faith praises God, has a firm hope, and rejoices no matter what.
Unshakable Grace
Men and women just like Peter who failed, had flaws and sins, and were shaky on their own, that God started and built his church. So many people just like Peter started to make sure people heard about Jesus, and all these years later, it’s because of Peter and people just like Peter who were used by Jesus that the news of Jesus’ grace has reached your ears right here at First Christian Church.
Uncommon Lives
May we live uncommon lives filled with joy that exceeds our current circumstances. May we live uncommon lives filled with peace amid great uncertainty? May we live uncommon lives that cling to hope in the midst of fear? May we live uncommon lives for God’s sake to draw a watching world to the hope we’ve found.
Unceasing Honor
Does forgiveness mean that you step right back into a hurtful relationship? No. Does forgiveness mean that you just forget what you learned from an experience? No. But you forgive because it was modeled for you and you forgive because forgiveness will set you free.
Unwavering Trust
Unwavering trust in Jesus is culminated in Baptism. This is going all in with Jesus. After all he’s done for you, it is your commitment and your unwavering trust in him. This is not just a ceremony or just some optional event. This is how Jesus asked us to express our belief in him.
