Behind Enemy Lines (Sojourners Week 3)

Creekside Community Church of Elizabeth

Welcome to Creekside Community Church's online service! Guiding Question: What does it mean to be a faithful witness to Jesus during a time when influence and favor seem to be fading? Join us as we explore the third week of our "Sojourners" series, titled Behind Enemy Lines. In this message, we will unpack what it looks like to stand firm in our faith and be a witness to Jesus, even when the world around us is increasingly hostile. Message Highlights: Good Deeds (1 Peter 2:11-12): Discover why doing good is both an internal battle and a powerful external testimony. Our motives matter—let’s seek to do good not to earn our place in God’s kingdom, but because we already belong to it. Remarkable Hope (1 Peter 3:13-17): Learn how to trust in the Lord during persecution. This hope in God's vindication and His coming Kingdom is what sustains us through life’s trials. An Undeserved Bad Reputation (1 Peter 2:12; 3:16): Understand that we may be misunderstood and slandered for the right reasons. It’s not about defending our reputation, but about remaining faithful and good. Application: Seek opportunities to do good in every area of your life. Equip yourself with our growing library of resources to answer questions about your faith. Reflect on your reputation—if it’s negative, is it for the right reasons? Don't miss this powerful message that encourages us to remain faithful witnesses to Jesus, even in challenging times.
