Peter knew more than most what it meant to be led astray after his catastrophic denial of Jesus at the time of the crucifixion, but also some 15 years later when he had been led astray by a legalism faction. He gives a strong warning to be on the lookout, and reminds us God can rescue us too.

Go Team Family | 1 Peter 3:1-12 | Esther Scholes

5 Feb, 2017

Esther Scholes continues our LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF series looking at Peter’s letters – 1 Peter and 2 Peter. In this message Ian is looking at 1 Peter 3:1-12.

Peter had always been a family man, and seems to have worked closely with his wife. In those days it was revolutionary to describe one’s wife as an ’equal partner in God’s gift of new life’ and as he links a right relationship with his wife as being crucial to the health of his prayer life, we see how good relationships are crucial to our life as Christians.

Living Stones Rock! | 1 Peter 2:1-12 | Ian Higginbotham

29 Jan, 2017

Ian Higginbotham continues our LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF series looking at Peter’s letters – 1 Peter and 2 Peter. In this message Ian is looking at 1 Peter 2:1-12.

When Simon was told that he would henceforth be called Peter (meaning Rock) and later when Jesus told him that he would be the first living stone of the church, he must have pondered what this was about. Then the Holy Spirit revealed to him the true picture of the church, founded on Jesus Christ, and we see our part in that too.
