Sunday Morning Service (July 5, 2026)

In this convicting word from 1 Peter 1:13–21, Pastor Ford Pfister asks a question that's easy to avoid: are we living with the end in mind, or have our eyes drifted to the pain, or the comforts, right in front of us? Drawing on the image of a marathon runner who never loses sight of the finish line, Ford explores what it means to run the Christian life fixed on the return of Christ. What does it look like to be not just slightly nicer, but fundamentally different from the world around us? How do we hold together a God who is both a loving Father and a righteous Judge? And what makes it possible to stand before Him at all? Join us as we consider the hope that fuels the whole race.
