1 Peter: Live Differently

No one likes feeling they don’t fit in, but it’s an unavoidable part of following Jesus. Christians are called to live differently, just like Jesus did.  This means sometimes being noticeably out of step with the surrounding culture.  Why do we do this and what does it look like in practice?

Stand Firm

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

As we come to the end of Peter's letter, we hear the heart of his message for anyone who is finding it hard being a Christian. There's both a challenge and comforting reassurance from God.

Elders: Lead Differently

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

With a growing crisis of leadership evident in the West, now more than ever we need a different, better way of leading.  The Bible’s teaching on church leaders gives us a fundamentally different approach, although it’s not without its own problems and challenges. 

Fight to do the Right Thing

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Living differently and doing good as a Christian doesn't always seem to come naturally. We can feel more like doing nothing at all or the urge to do the very opposite. What should we do if we find it hard?

​​​​​​​Unfair Opportunity

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ is a common objection to the Christian Faith.  Unexpectedly, rather than avoiding this problem, the Bible actually tells us that it is something that points people towards faith in God.

Oddly Attractive

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Some of the things that Christians believe and do seem backwards, strange, and even harmful.  There is real pressure in these areas to try to fit in with everyone else. The irony is that sometimes these differences can also be very appealing. 

A Firm Foundation for Life

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

When life is tough or we are under pressure, we might release that the things we depend on are not really enough. Listen to what Peter wrote to Christians under pressure, about the reliable foundation we can all have in our lives. 

Being Holy

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

To ‘be holy’ means very different things to lots of different people. It covers everything from harsh, judgemental religiousness to other-worldly spirituality, often with a strait-laced seriousness that’s not much fun. What does it actually mean, and why would anyone want to ‘be holy’? 

Life in Exile

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Why should Christians live so differently to other people in our culture? What is it about us that seems so out of step with everybody else? Maybe it’s because we really don’t fit in anymore…
