1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

He is risen! (And happy seventh birthday, DCC!) On Good Friday we gathered to remember Jesus’ death on the cross for the forgiveness of sin. Today, on Easter, we gather to rejoice in Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In 1 Peter 2:4-8, Peter reveals that Jesus is the living cornerstone of reality. By faith in him, we become living stones in his living temple that exists to display his worth, and announce his victory, to the neighborhoods of our city and the nations of the world.

Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Good Friday and Easter have been set apart for centuries to specifically remember and reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and all that these two events accomplished for those who embrace him by faith. This weekend we remember these two great events and their singular purpose: God reconciling sinners to himself.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

1 Peter is an ancient letter written by the Apostle Peter, the beloved disciple of Jesus, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to encourage them—and us—to stand firm (1 Pet. 5:12) amidst trials, persecution, and heartache in a world that is not our true home. In our passage today, 1:22-2:3, Peter calls us to live out of the new realities that are forged by the new birth, through faith in Jesus.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Our passage today, 1 Peter 1:13-21, marks an important turning point as Peter shifts from describing what God has done (cf. 1:1-12) to highlighting what we must do in order to stand firm while in exile.

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1:10-12, he directs our attention to the sweeping cosmic story of God’s unfolding redemption and our place in it. The prophets predicted it. The apostles proclaimed it. The angels long to look into it. And we receive it, by faith.

Today we continue our series through 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile. Today, in 1:3-5, Peter bursts into a doxology (a praise of God) and puts his spotlight on God’s merciful, and miraculous, new birth available to all who embrace Jesus by faith.

1 Peter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

By God’s grace, today we begin a new, and important, 20-week series through 1 Peter. This ancient letter was written by the Apostle Peter, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to help them—and us—stand firm amidst trials, persecution, heartache in a world that is not our true home. In a word, Peter wants us to know exactly who, and whose, we are. His letter is theologically weighty, yet simultaneously down-to-earth, and is filled fresh encouragements to wholehearted faithfulness while living in exile.

Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

How does Jesus impact how we think about our jobs? What difference should it make if an employee is a follower of Jesus? Or, more personally, would anyone in your office be surprised if they discovered you were a Christian? That’s an important question. Most of us will spend well over 80,000 hours “working” in our lifetime; that breaks down to two-thirds of our waking hours during the work week. Do those hours matter to Jesus? Yes. They matter more than we realize.

Missions & Church Planting, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

What is the mission of Jesus’ church? Why does it exist? In a word, what is the church for? What is our role in that? Those are the kinds of questions we’ll explore today in light of Matthew 28:16-20. What we’ll discover is that, yes, Jesus’ church has a massive, far-reaching purpose. His church is central to God’s unfolding story of redemption, across continents and millennia, among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world, and every follower of Jesus is called to be a part of it.
