Our Sermons
At HBC, we believe the Bible speaks into every part of life. Our sermons are an opportunity to hear God’s Word, understand it more clearly, and apply it in practical ways. As we sit under the teachings of Scripture, we’re reminded of God’s grace, challenged to grow, and encouraged to live with purpose and hope in Christ. We pray you are enriched as you engage with our library of messages!

Consecrated Disciples: 1 Peter
Gathered, Scattered, and Set Apart
As we continue our yearlong exploration and application of what it means to be consecrated for God, we find ourselves in the New Testament letter of 1 Peter. Peter writes to a persecuted church: scattered, afraid, and trying to work out what it means to act out their Christianity in hostile environments. The letter is deeply spiritual and powerfully practical. Peter’s audience are those familiar with the Law, and he leans heavily on Old Testament imagery and practice to teach: a new covenant, a new temple, a new priesthood, a new people of God.
Peter addresses the practicalities of what it meant to be a Christian servant in a hostile household, a Christian wife in a pagan marriage, and encourages all of us to consider our witness, wherever we are sent. To Peter, suffering is not foreign to the Christian life, but a given.
Consecration is Costly. Suffering is not Strange. Suffering produces Glory.
So, hold fast to the truth, the living hope that is of more worth than gold, and learn what it means to be a consecrated people, wherever you find yourself.
