2022-11-1125 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles’ Creed: The Forgiveness of Sins / This Life Is Not in Your HandsThe back to the land movement put forth a picture of The Good Life, especially in the writings of Scott and Helen Nearing. One of their most ardent disciples, Eliot Coleman, put their ideas to the test. Decades later his daughter makes an assessment in her memoir, This Life Is in Your Hands.How good can we make our own lives? Forgiveness offers a different foundation—a different life in our hands.Colossians 1, 2Sermon from October 30, 2022Rev. Edward Hopkins
2022-11-0124 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles' Creed: Can These Bones Live?The next three lines of creed cover a lot of ground: God the Holy Spirit, the Church, and the Communion of Saints. As the Spirit hovered over the formless deep, and the barren womb, so the Spirit hovers over humanity. The Church is the beginning of the Spirit's work, a sign of what is to come. We point to the Spirit's creative power when we humbly trust God's work. When God asks, Can these bones live? We must answer not yes, or no, but O Lord God, only you know.Ezekiel 37:1-14Sermon from October 23, 2022
2022-10-2723 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles’ Creed: Ascension and JudgmentThe most important thing to know about the future is that there is a judgment. Sounds like bad news, but in the creed we discover it is deeply good because the judge is the one who was judged, killed, raised, and ascended.Matthew 25:31-40October 16, 2022Rev. Edward Hopkins
2022-10-1917 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles' Creed: Descended; Rose AgainThe mystery of faith in two clauses. First: Jesus identifies with the worst we can imagine: the prison of death.

2022-10-1223 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles' Creed: Suffered, Crucified, Died, BuriedThe creed invites us to trust not in a theory, but in an event. What difference does that make, especially now?Sermon from October 2, 2022Rev. Edward Hopkins
2022-10-0526 minPeak Community Church SermonsApostles' Creed: The IncarnationAfter introducing Jesus, the creed tells us two things about his incarnation: he is fully God and fully human. But what does this have to do with our salvation? By noticing who isn't mentioned (Adam), and who is (Mary), we see how Jesus brings a whole new humanity, one of grace instead of sin, life instead of death. Salvation is about truly living -- an abundant life forever.Romans 5:12-21Sermon from 9/25/2022Rev. Edward Hopkins
2022-09-2922 minPeak Community Church SermonsThe Apostles’ Creed: The Center from which It All UnfoldsThe entire creed unfolds with an origami-like structure from this point: Jesus Christ, the Father’s only Son, our Lord.

But it also didn’t take the form that the first missionaries from Europe intended.

2022-08-0525 minPeak Community Church SermonsThe Cup of Unity — Colossians 2, The Moravians, and the Ground of Christian UnityThe Reformation brought with it violent reaction and Christians on the run. Many refugees gathered on the estate of Count Zinzendorf in Saxony. Multiple groups of persecuted Christians with deeply held beliefs and strong disagreements. And yet, one summer in 1727, everything changed and the world witnessed the possibility of unity not based on complete agreement, or even a shared tradition, but Christ alone.Scripture: Col 2.6-16Rev.

It’s not pilgrimage in the way think about it now—a journey to a holy site. But it’s also not aimless wandering. It’s an understanding of our lives as a journey to God, and everything along the way as part of how we get there.Hebrews 11.1-3, 8-10June 26, 2022Rev. Edward Hopkins
