Sermon 11th June, 2023. 

"The Blessing of Adoption" from 1 Peter 1:1-2. 


The churches Peter is writing to are beginning to have some doubts about their faith. Peter writes to reassure them and us to persevere trusting the Lord's sovereign rule over our lives. 

In these 2 verses Peter introduces the truth of our adoption as believers, the resurrection of Jesus, and our current status as elect exiles.

Peter concludes by encouraging us of the grace and peace God has given all his children.


Sermon 26th June, 2023. 1 Peter 1:3-5. 

"Our Living Hope"

Peter began his letter by laying a foundation to encourage his 5 churches to persevere in their faith. In our verses today, Peter goes straight to the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the foundation of all our hope in life.
It simply isn't good enough simply to have a fence sitting attitude towards Christ's resurrection. 
The fullness of our living hope in Christ goes way beyond the lost state of Adam. Adam could never have imagined the glories awaiting all the saints whom Christ has died for.


Sermon 23rd July, 2023. 1 Peter 1:6-9. 

"From Suffering Servants to Celestial Saints"

Peter has been encouraging the five churches he is writing to. He has reminded them they are elect exiles, on a pilgrimage to a living hope.

Today, Peter is encouraging the believers to persevere in their faith in their trials.
