People of Praise (1 Peter 2:4-12)

25/3/2018

What is the purpose of the church?

In this section of Peter's letter he outlines a grand vision of the church. He starts by painting a picture of a temple of living stones, with Jesus as the cornerstone.

He draws on several Old Testament sources to build up our understanding of Jesus and the church. Finally he tells us our purpose. We are to declare God's praises.

People of Peace (Philippians 4:2-9)

Everyone wants peace. But so often our world and our relationships are marked by conflict and strife.

As the church we worship the God of peace (e.g. Phil. 4:9) and we are called to pursue peace (e.g. Rom. 14:19). Yet, it isn't as simple as that.

For example, is the cross a symbol of peace or conflict? And how can we as churches be more effective at dealing with conflicts, so that we can truly be the people of peace we are called to be?

How do we achieve things in life? Is it just down to our efforts? No! The Bible says that we need God's help. Whether it's building a house or guarding a city, without God's help our efforts will prove fruitless.

And one of the blessings God gives us is the gift of children! Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Mothering Sunday.

People of Purity (Ephesians 4:25-5:8)

Church is not just about meeting together, singing songs and reading the Bible. It is about our whole lives. God is a holy God and he calls on his people to be a holy people.

That means that our lives and lifestyles will be different. They are to be pure not impure as our thinking and behaviour is transformed by the love and truth of God revealed in Jesus Christ.
