Series: 1 Peter (Living in Exile)Service: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevilleI’ll never forget the feeling I had when Jose Altuve hit his third homerun in the first game of playoffs in 2017. I was with Taylor at the game. And when the Astros won the world series, I cried. I felt like I was apart of something so much bigger than me. We crave to be part of something that matters, something that is bigger than us. We take pride in the country we are from and the city we live in. We fly a flag and we wear the colors of our favorite teams. And when the thing that…

Series: 1 Peter (Living in Exile)Service: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevilleIn a story for the Atlantic called “The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake” David Brooks argues that the detachment of the nuclear family from extended family has been a mistake. Throughout history, extended families lived near one another — working family farms and businesses together. Grandparents were useful and cared for, moms and dads worked alongside aunts and uncles, cousins grew up learning and working together, and the many children had many hands to catch them when they fell. There was abundant economic and emotional support. But as society became more industrialized and jobs moved to the cities, extended families started…

Series: 1 Peter (Living in Exile)Service: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevilleThe Israelites had been tired, exhausted slaves for generation after generation. Each day they rose early to make bricks in the heat all day, sometimes being whipped. Each day they came home late, their bodies full of aching , slowly eating their dinners. They had cried so much. They had lost so many. So many sons. They were tired, discouraged and hopeless. But not today. Today, there was a different energy in their cities when they got to the dinner table. Their homes had been cleansed of all leaven. A spotless lamb had been killed. Its blood had been put on…

Series: 1 Peter (Living in Exile)Service: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevilleJoseph had been exiled from the land of promise to Egypt. He was sold by his brothers and had become the slave of Potiphar. He was unjustly mistreated. He was all alone. He heard nothing from his father. He received no more dreams from God. From our perspective, it seems he had been completely abandoned. That kind of aloneness can really eat away at a person. The desire we all have to know and be known can grow and become ferocious. Having a secret pal to lie with in his exile could have been a great comfort. But when Potiphar’s wife…

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevilleA couple weeks ago the New York Times published an opinion piece by an ICU doctor in Boston that made me sick. “BOSTON — As an I.C.U. doctor I’m used to giving bad news, but I was not prepared for this. I paused outside my patient’s room to watch her for a moment. She lay on the bed, tethered to a ventilator by the tracheostomy tube in her neck. Her husband sat in a small plastic chair beside her with his hand on her leg, smiling at some silly sitcom playing on the TV. I hesitated a beat. And then I entered. I…

Rejoice in Our Sure Inheritance (1:1-5)1 Peter 1:1–5 (ESV), “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the…

Series: 1 Peter (Living in Exile)Service: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Scott KerchevillePsalm 44:11, 13-16 (NLT-SE), “You have butchered us like sheep and scattered us among the nations... You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us. You have made us the butt of their jokes; they shake their heads at us in scorn. We can’t escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces. All we hear are the taunts of our mockers. All we see are our vengeful enemies.” Psalm 120:5–7 (NLT-SE), “How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.  I am tired of living…
