Morag rounded off our series in 1 Peter looking at leadership as service, humility as dependance, and trusting in God amidst suffering to work all things for good.
What does the Bible actually say about the end of the world? What doesn't it say? The answer is probably unlike anything you've heard that it might be.
Jeremy looks at 1 Peter, tackling the tricky subject of what Jesus did between his death and resurrection, and what that means for us in our lives today.
Here, Peter outlines a picture of how we should live as children of Light, in a dark world.
Peter issues some difficult challenges to God's people in difficult circumstances, with one main goal: let nothing distract those around us from the good news that God offers everybody, through us. Let our lives point, uncompromisingly, to Jesus.
Peter uses Old Testament references and imagery to call people to a kind of holy living that is compelling and attractive to neighbours and those outside of the church. What are we putting our trust in and what kind of houses are we building today?
Obedience to the call to holiness is the right and loving response to the God who adores us, and the amazing Good News of what He has done for us.
Peter begins his letter with the good news of God's offer of relationship with us, and how amazing it is. Even when we may face suffering or trials, God is at work to use those things for our good, to strengthen our relationship with Him.
Jeremy looks at the big picture of 1 Peter to give us the context and main themes of the letter, setting us up well for this new series.
