RECEIVING CHRIST’S BODY IS A SPIRITUAL ACT THAT IS ACTUALLY TRUE (VV51–53) Jesus says He is the living bread that came down from heaven.

What does it mean to “receive” Christ rather than merely know about Him? How is receiving Christ different from simply agreeing with Christian beliefs or attending church? Why is Christianity more than moral improvement or religious activity? What are some ways people try to find life, satisfaction, or salvation apart from Jesus? How does this passage challenge a shallow or merely cultural Christianity? 2. RECEIVING CHRIST’S LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL ACT THAT IS ETERNALLY TRUE (VV54–59) What promises does Jesus make to those who receive Him? Why is eternal life more than simply living forever? How does Jesus describe the relationship between Himself and those who believe in Him? What does it mean that Christ’s life becomes the source of our life? How does this passage help us understand the difference between temporary satisfaction and eternal fulfillment? What are some areas of your life where you are tempted to look for fulfillment outside of Christ? How does knowing that Jesus offers eternal life affect the way you approach present struggles, disappointments, or fears?

Hell is God's Judgment February 15, 2026 Hell is God's Judgment Sermon Series: Like It Or Not Download PDF Matthew 25:31-46 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Main Idea Like it or not, Hell is God’s Judgment Outline JUDGMENT IS COMING (vv. 31–33) HELL IS WHAT WE ALL DESERVE (vv. 34–45) HELL IS ETERNAL PUNISHMENT (v. 46a) JESUS OFFERS ETERNAL LIFE (v. 46b) Discussion Questions JUDGMENT IS COMING (vv. 31–33) What stands out to you about how Jesus describes His return? The separation is described as clear and decisive. How does that challenge modern ideas about moral relativism or universalism? What does this passage teach us about accountability before God? How should the certainty of judgment shape the way we live now? HELL IS WHAT WE ALL DESERVE (vv. 34–45) When you first read this passage, does it sound like salvation is earned by good works? Why or why not? Why is the word “blessed” in verse 34 so important? How does “inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” shape our understanding of grace? Why does Jesus describe works in such detail if salvation is by faith alone? Where do you see evidence of transforming grace in your life? Are there areas where your faith has not yet translated into action? HELL IS ETERNAL PUNISHMENT (v. 46a) Why is the word eternal so important in this verse? How would you respond to someone who says eternal punishment is unfair? How does this passage deepen your understanding of God’s justice? How does understanding what we deserve magnify grace? JESUS OFFERS ETERNAL LIFE (v. 46b) How does the cross resolve the tension between God’s justice and God’s love? Why is it significant that the One who sits on the throne first hung on a cross? How does believing in eternal judgment fuel evangelism? What fears keep you from sharing the gospel boldly? Looking Forward Who in your life who needs to hear the gospel urgently? What would taking a step of boldness to bring them the good news of Jesus look like this week? Prayer Focus Pray for a deeper awareness of the seriousness of sin in your own life. Pray for humility to recognize that apart from Christ, you deserve judgment. Pray for renewed gratitude that Jesus took your place. Pray that the reality of eternal life would fill you with joy and assurance. Pray that your faith would produce visible fruit. Pray for compassion toward the “least of these” in your community. Pray for opportunities this week to serve someone in tangible ways. Pray that your obedience would flow from grace, not guilt. Pray that your life would increasingly reflect the character of Christ. Pray for a growing burden for those who do not know Jesus. Pray for boldness to speak about both judgment and grace with clarity and love. Pray for wisdom to know when and how to start gospel conversations. Pray for courage to overcome fear of awkwardness or rejection. Pray for specific friends or family members by name who need reconciliation with God. Pray that Peace Church would never shy away from hard truths in Scripture. Pray that we would be known for gospel clarity and gospel compassion. Pray that serving others would increasingly mark our church family. Pray that temporary comforts would not distract you from eternal realities. Pray that the hope of eternal life would anchor you in trials. Pray that remembering coming judgment would cultivate holiness and urgency.

Learn how adult baptism, infant baptism, and profession of faith work at Peace Church—and why membership is the first step. Baptism Baptism is a sign and sacrament of God’s covenant grace. At Peace Church, we baptize adults who are professing faith in Jesus Christ as well as the children of believers. Membership Comes First Because baptism and the public profession of faith take place within the life and care of the local church, Peace Church schedules these steps for members. If you are not yet a member, your first step is to attend our Two-Part Membership Class and complete the membership process. Once your membership is finalized, our team will help you move forward. Use the Membership button below to learn more. Adult Baptism Adults and older students who have not previously been baptized may be baptized as they publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ. At Peace Church, adult baptism and profession of faith normally happen together. If you are already a member and would like to discuss baptism, use the button below to contact us today about your baptism. Infant Baptism We baptize the children of believers because we believe God’s covenant promises extend to believers and their children. Infant baptism does not save a child; salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Instead, baptism marks the child as part of the covenant community and calls the parents and church family to help raise the child in the faith. Use the button below to take you to the form for Infant baptism. Profession of Faith Profession of faith is a public declaration of personal trust in Jesus Christ. Those who were baptized as infants later profess their faith when they have a firm understanding of the gospel. Those who have not previously been baptized ordinarily make their profession of faith at the time of their baptism. For a fuller explanation of Peace Church’s beliefs about baptism, visit the What We Believe page. Membership Adult Baptism Infant Baptism

The Warning of Judgement November 2, 2024 The Warning of Judgement Sermon Series: Obadiah Download PDF Obadiah 1:1-9 Main Idea God warns us that he will cut down those who boast in their pride. Outline 1. Pride dooms us (vv1-2) 2. Pride deceives us (vv3-7) 3. Pride destroys us (vv8-9) Discussion Questions In Obadiah 1:3, God points out that Edom’s pride “deceived” them, leading them to believe they were invincible. How does pride impact our view of ourselves and others? Reflect on Proverbs 16:18. How does this proverb help us understand God’s judgment on Edom in Obadiah? Can you share an example of a time when pride led to unexpected consequences in your life? Obadiah 1:4 reveals that God will “bring Edom down” despite their high position. How does this verse show that no one is beyond God’s reach or justice? Read Psalm 7:11. How does this help you understand God’s response to Edom’s actions? How does it change the way you view injustice in the world? Edom felt secure in their strongholds and alliances (Obadiah 1:5-7), but they were ultimately betrayed and vulnerable. What are some “strongholds” people might rely on today that can lead to false security? In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus contrasts building on rock versus sand. What would it look like for you to build your life on a foundation that lasts? The warning to Edom reminds us of the importance of humility and compassion. How can we guard our hearts against the pride that Edom displayed? Read Philippians 2:3-4. What steps can you take this week to demonstrate humility and compassion, particularly in difficult relationships? Obadiah 1:8-9 highlights God’s control over even the wisest and strongest of Edom. How does acknowledging God’s sovereignty help us avoid the mistakes of pride and self-reliance that Edom made? Reflect on James 4:6. How does God’s promise to lift up the humble encourage you to depend on Him rather than your own strength? Looking Forward Prayer Focus

Faithful With… What We’ve Been Given March 1, 2026 Faithful With… What We’ve Been Given Sermon Series: How Much Did That Cost? Download PDF Matthew 25:14-30 14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, goodand faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Main Idea YOU ARE TO BE FAITHFUL WITH WHAT YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN. Outline GOD HAS GIVEN YOU RESPONSIBILITY (VV14-18) GOD WILL GIVE YOU A RESPONSE (VV19-30) Discussion Questions What differences do you see between the first two servants and the third? What is the same about the master’s response to the five-talent and two-talent servants? What reasons does the third servant give for his inaction? What stands out to you about the contrast between verses 21–23 and verses 26–30? GOD HAS GIVEN YOU RESPONSIBILITY (VV14-18) The talents represent more than money. What are some “talents” (resources, relationships, abilities, opportunities, time, influence, spiritual gifts) God has entrusted to you? Why is comparison dangerous when it comes to what God has given different people? The master calls millions of dollars “a little.” What does that teach us about God’s perspective? In what areas of your life are you actively investing what God has given you? Where might you be burying something God entrusted to you? GOD WILL GIVE YOU A RESPONSE (VV19-30) What does it mean to “live in anticipation of the King’s return”? Why do you think fear paralyzed the third servant? What fears might keep believers today from stepping out in faithfulness? What do you think it means to “enter into the joy of your master”? If Christ returned today, what in your life would reflect faithful anticipation? Pastor Ryan said, “Faith isn’t part of your life… faith is how we are to live.” What does that statement challenge in you? Looking Forward What is one practical way you be more faithful with what God has given you this upcoming week? Prayer Focus Pray for freedom from comparison and jealousy. Pray for a softened heart toward God’s ownership of everything. Pray for courage to stop burying what God has entrusted to you. Pray for wisdom to recognize the specific responsibilities God has given you. Pray for faith that responds to grace rather than fears failure. Pray for a Kingdom mindset that sees money as “a little” in light of eternity. Pray for joyful anticipation of Christ’s return. Pray for wholehearted surrender in every compartment of life. Pray for Peace Church to be marked by faithfulness, not fear. Pray for gratitude for the Gospel that fuels obedience.
