God's New World Order | 2 Peter 3

God's New World Order | 2 Peter 3

Are you living your life in line with ‘God’s New World Order’? This is the final message in our current series, ‘Upon This Rock’, and in this message we will unpack the 3rd chapter and final chapter of Peter’s 2nd letter. In this incredible section of scripture, Peter offers his final instructions and warnings to the church before his imminent execution in Rome. Therefore, let us pay close attention to these significant, God-inspired words as we choose to live holy lives in these evil days.

Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation..’ 2 Peter 3: verses 13-15.

Don't Be Deceived! | 2 Peter 2

Drawing insight from the 2nd chapter of Peter’s 2nd epistle, this message shouts the warning that, despite the presence of false teachers and their destructive doctrines, rather than being alarmed, believers should be alert and aware at all times - whilst also taking comfort in the God of Justice. Simultaneously, it is imperative that believers continue to grow, and press on to maturity.

This is the 7th instalment in the ‘Upon This Rock’ sermon series.

Refresh Your Memory | 2 Peter 1

Refresh Your Memory | 2 Peter 1

As we come to the opening chapter of 2nd Peter as part of our current sermon series - Upon This Rock - this message ‘Refresh Your Memory’ focuses around verse 13 of chapter 1: ‘I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body’.

In his final letter before imminent execution in the year circa. 68 AD, Peter writes this letter as an eye witness of Jesus himself to confirm the transforming truth which his hearers have already received. Peter’s 2nd and final letter serves to remind and signpost all generations of believers, both then and now, to the only true Gospel from God that can bring salvation.

First Things First | 1 Peter 1

First Things First | 1 Peter 1

First Things First - is the second message of the new sermon series - Upon This Rock. The first chapter of 1 Peter is very much about getting our thinking right and focusing on what really matters. What Peter expounds to believers in 64 AD is still so relevant in 2020 AD - who we are; where we are from; what is waiting for us; why there are trials and challenges; how we should live and conduct our lives. 

Is it your desire to be a walking, talking letter sent from God to people looking for answers? This message will assist you on that journey.

This is Peter | Introduction to 1 & 2 Peter

This is Peter | Introduction to 1 & 2 Peter

This Is Peter - launches our new sermon series - Upon This Rock. In it we get to know the author of the amazing New Testament letters, 1 & 2 Peter, it outlines why they were written and what they teach. They come from a man who both walked, and shared life, with Jesus. He was then powerfully used by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and thereafter. 

This key figure used in the building of God’s church has much to tell us from firsthand experience. He encourages and prepares believers on how to face suffering and persecution, together with guidance on how to live the Christian life in a hostile world. Both letters have so much to teach us in the world in which we now live.
