Welcome to
CROSS LUTHERAN
CHURCH & SCHOOL
LOVE | WALK | GROW
Cross Lutheran is a vibrant and active family of faith in Yorkville, Illinois where people of all upbringings and identities can learn about and follow Jesus. All are welcome to join together on a mission as we Walk with God, Grow in Faith Together, and Love Our Neighbors.
We believe a follower of Jesus will mature as a disciple of Jesus through the intentional processes of spiritual formation and leadership multiplication. Jesus’ work on earth is not limited to a few people in a few places but is gifted to all believers in all places. At Cross we encourage and challenge each other to be in the presence of Jesus right where you are.
Sermon Series: 1 Peter – Resurrected Living
Peter’s life was forever changed by Christ’s empty tomb. The reality of the resurrection began on Easter morning when John outran him to our Savior’s tomb. When Peter was with the other apostles on Easter evening Jesus came and said, “Peace be with you.” On the next Sunday Peter watched as Thomas saw Jesus and confessed “My Lord and my God.” Christ also appeared on the shore of Galilee and Peter, fishing with his friends, jumped out of the boat and swam to Jesus who was cooking breakfast for the disciples. This fisherman turned disciple was also present when Christ ascended into heaven.
All told, Peter was an eyewitness to the risen Jesus on at least four different occasions. Around 65 AD, with the help of Silas, Peter composed his first letter and it explodes with resurrection joy and power.
Following the second readings for Series A during Easter, these sermons discuss how the reality of Christ’s resurrection transforms our lives, leading to “Resurrected Living.”
Check out our recent E-Newsletter article on the 1 Peter Resurrected Living Series! We share more details plus a list of the weekly themes and readings we are focusing on.

For by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10
