1 Peter 4:7-11 Church life is not supposed to be a crowd of spectators needing exercise watching a few exhausted professional players in need of a rest. It should be about all God’s people on the pitch, loving and serving one another, before a watching world.
1 Peter 2:1-10 When a person believes the gospel they are spiritually united not just with Christ but with this people. That is a wonderful privilege, but it brings with it a corporate challenge. To be Christian is not just about me and God – it is to belong to a church where Christians grasp hold of one another in responsibility and love.
1 Peter 2:13-25 Remaining faithful to Christ can often be costly in an increasingly intolerant society. But it is the path that all true believers are called to walk. Peter asks us to look back to the example of Christ at the cross to be empowered to follow in his steps as we carry on doing good despite the cost.
1 Peter 2:4-12 If we’re Christian, we will at some point face rejection for being a Christian. In this sermon we’ll see that God encourages us and give us strength to face this rejection by reminding us that the ‘names’ we get called for being Christian are nothing compared to the true ‘names’ we get called by Him.
1 Peter 1:13-25 What are the marks of an obedient child? Hope and Holiness. A mindful hope that is certain and fixed on Christ’s return. And a Holy life that is transformed, avoids sin, fears God and is dictated by love.
1 Peter 1:1-12 Christians all go through suffering in life. Why is there suffering and how can we get through it? We can learn lots from Apostle Peter – the veteran sufferer shared his secret on how to suffer well.

1 Peter 1:3 In business your ‘elevator pitch’ is your 20 second summary of what your company is about. What would your elevator pitch be for the Christian message? Would it include the resurrection of Jesus? If not, you’re on a different wavelength to the apostles – which should be a cause for concern!

1 Peter 3:18 What do the following have in common – an anchor, a dove, a shepherd, a fish, a lamb, a ship, a cross? They were all used as symbols of the Christian faith in the early Church. The cross became the central one – but why? And isn’t it about time we gave the Church a makeover and swapped all the crosses for fish or dove symbols?
