Called to be the community of God

This Sunday we’ll be continuing our series on 1 Peter and will be looking at 1 Peter 3:8-16, centering on verses 3:14-16 about not living in fear, but in hope; a hope that we are prepared to share with others.

Continuing in the series Called to be God's Community, we are encouraged by Peter to view our care for other believers in the same way a shepherd sees his care for his sheep. Whether you're an elder in a church or a Small Group leader or a Sunday School teacher - there are many lessons we can learn by looking at the Good Shepherd. Peter tells the shepherds to lead joyfully, the sheep to follow willingly and for all the clothe themselves with humility towards each other. 

In this section of the series on Called to be God's Community, we focus on Peter's words urging the believers to live as free people, while also choosing willingly to live as slaves for God by serving in complee humility. 1 Peter 2:13-25

To endure suffering and come out victorious, we need to have our minds set on God's interests, yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit and adopt a heavenly perspective.

Key Verse: 1 Peter 1:13
 

Listen to our guest speaker Aaron Boyd sharing the story of his song "God of this city" and be encouraged!

As the community of God, we are a community which holds on to hope. The reason we have hope is due to the power of God's promises, the reality of faith and the hope of Heaven
