“We come boldly before your throne of grace, God, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Pastor Chris Harris preaches from 1 Peter 2:9 calling the congregation to embrace their identity as chosen, royal, holy and peculiar, move from mere Sunday religion to daily consecration empowered by the Holy Spirit, respond to God quickly, and engage in church mission and ministries (prayer meetings, outreach events, baptism, volunteer teams).
“Hebrews 4:16 says that we could come into the throne room of God and make our appeal with confidence and boldness.”
Pastor Ed teaches from 1 Peter 2 that believers are 'living stones' under God's ongoing construction—saved by Christ, being sanctified through a process that removes what doesn't belong, replaces unhealthy appetites with spiritual nourishment, redefines identity as God's chosen and royal priesthood, and reveals Christ through transformed lives—culminating in a call to faith, repentance, and practical growth from 'milk to meat.'
“Let us come boldly (to the throne of grace).”
A Sunday worship service focused on God's faithfulness and timely interventions, the importance of prayer, guidance and thanksgiving, with teaching from the Psalms about faith, holiness and confident supplication. Practical calls include repentance, persistent prayer and meditation, wholehearted worship, generosity, and readiness to follow God's guidance.
“You said we should come boldly to the throne of grace... to the throne of mercy that we can obtain grace and find help in time of need.”
A Sunday worship service combining extended praise, intercessory prayer, pastoral announcements and a Bible message focused on Psalm 23 (and related Psalms). The preacher uses the metaphor of sheep and shepherd to call believers to know God personally, trust his provision, embrace holiness, receive more of Christ’s gifts (forgiveness, love, power) and then give those gifts away. Service elements include offerings, baby dedications, ministry updates and a charge to be doers of the Word.
