Peter Cho — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 17:40:13 +0000

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “A New Hope” -Revelation 21:1-5

Peter Cho — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 23:10:46 +0000

Speaker: Peter Cho
We have reduced marriage to being about “me and my happiness” and so we often struggle when we don’t get what we want out of it or give up when it gets too hard. But the Bible begins and ends with the story of a marriage union, not only to reveal the nature of God’s love for us, but to reveal what is to come and give resurrection hope to those who are united with Christ.

Peter Cho — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 16:26:46 +0000

There is so much carnage and confusion around sex because there are so many lies that have distorted the divine vision for it. But God created sex to reveal what it means to be fully known and truly loved and as a powerful model of self-giving love. In Christ alone we find sex’s true meaning and healing and wholeness out of our own sexual brokenness.

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “The Power of Love” -Ephesians 5:21-32

Peter Cho — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 15:36:50 +0000

We are both slaves to power and victims of abuse because our sinful brokenness results in a relentless desire to serve ourselves using power, manipulation and control. But Jesus shows us that when the power of his love is greater than our love of power, his kingdom is brought near and unity is fostered through the exercise of self-giving love and mutual submission.

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “A Covenant Community” -John 13-17

Peter Cho — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 13:52:48 +0000

We want to set our own terms for who we love and how we love, but just as God has revealed how two become one in the mystery of the marriage union,Jesus is calling the Church (his bride) to become ONE with one another, reflecting the “oneness” we share in Christ and the perfect community of love found in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “Two Become One” -Genesis 2:18-25

Peter Cho — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 18:21:36 +0000

We struggle to live at peace with others because the brokenness inside us inevitably leads to brokenness around us – impacting all of our relationships (especially marriage). But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus has come to restore our broken union with God, make us new and whole again so that we can bring his shalom into this world and fulfill our created purpose as God’s image-bearers.

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “The Covenant Promise” -Romans 8:35,38-39

Peter Cho — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 18:54:52 +0000

We all struggle with insecurities because we are all in search of a true love that will make us feel secure, accepted and whole. Through the covenant of marriage God is expressing his unconditional love to the world and inviting us all into an inseparable union with Jesus that is secured by an unbreakable promise received by faith.

THE GOSPEL MARRIAGE: “The Mystery of Love” – 1 John 4:8, 16

Peter Cho — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:43:48 +0000

“The Joy of Unity: Courage in the Face of Danger – Philippians 1:27-30

Peter Cho — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 02:29:45 +0000

When we face persecution and insult for the sake of the gospel, it is easy to feel lonely and defeated. However, God is teaching us that we are to conduct ourselves worthy of the gospel at all times, and that would give us the courage and confidence to stand and strive together as a community of faith .

“Philemon: Radically-Redeemed Relationships”

Peter Cho — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 18:03:29 +0000

When we are wronged by someone, we often default to the ways of the world by harboring resentment or exacting revenge. But the gospel calls us not only to reconciliation but to a radically different way of relating to one another. Philemon is far more than a story of hopeful reconciliation, it is God’s call to the Church across all time to mutual submission and a demonstration of what self-giving love in this new community should look like.
