Rick Cornejo
1 Peter 5:8-14 | Pastor Rick
Pastor Rick wraps up his series on 1 Peter by reminding believers that the Christian life is a battle not against flesh and blood but against unseen spiritual forces. Drawing on Peter’s call to “be sober, be vigilant,” he outlines how the devil prowls like a “roaring lion” seeking to derail our faith—and shows us how to stand firm with the armor of God, clear self-talk seasoned by Scripture, and a fixed gaze on our eternal hope in Christ. Far from leaving us to fight alone, Peter points us back to the “God of all grace” who promises to perfect, strengthen and settle us through every trial. In this message, Pastor Rick invites listeners to resist fear and doubt, cling to the unshakable foundation of Jesus, and lift up worship to the One who holds the ultimate dominion and know that Jesus has the last word.
