Sunday 23rd October | Jonah Horne opened our new series on 1 Peter by calling us to place our trust in the “living hope” of Jesus. He invited us to reflect on stories from within the church that show people living alternative lives in the kingdom of God. Jonah asked us, how can we orientate our lives to be one defined by holiness, formed by the Kingdom of God rather than the competing kingdoms of the world? Please note that we experienced some technical difficulties during the talk, which will explain some slight strange noises in the middle of it. We are sorry about this!

 

Sunday 30th October | In week 2 of our series on 1 Peter, Pete James encourages us to live lives in line with our identity as citizens of heaven: co-operating with grace; being alert to what either fills or empties our souls; and living confidently distinctive lives.

 

Sunday 6th November | Dan unpacks Peter’s advice in chapter 3 to sit under societal structures so that we might see their redemption. And then explores how we can live distinct and proximate lives in an ‘age of authenticity’ that provoke questions about the living hope we carry.

 

Sunday 13th November | Pete James guides us through chapter 4 and three particular threads in Peter's reflections on how to be citizens of heaven: don't waste your time on emptying things; prioritise prayer; and love and serve one another.

 

Sunday 19th November | Jude concludes our series with Peter’s closing thoughts in chapter 5 - as citizens of heaven we’re invited to cast our anxieties onto God, called to ‘put on’ humility, and warned to stand firm in our faith.
