Attacks On The Soul
1 Peter 2.11Teaching Sermon Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | Sunday 28 January 2024
With words only meaningful to believers, the apostle warns of the desires of the 'lower', fallen nature residual in them. Here are the core fleshly lusts and how they may be launched at believers, the need of vigilance and the remedies for their defeat.
Immeasurable Advantages

In five verses, Peter lists six magnificent blessings given to believers to mark them out, and to adorn them as God's special treasure. Awareness of these is uniquely uplifting and strengthening through all the rigours of life. Here is the happiness and security of our walk.
The Ongoing Faith of a Believer
1 Peter 2.3Teaching Sermon Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | Sunday 14 January 2024

I Commend You To God

The Stages of Sanctification
1 Peter 1.23Teaching Sermon Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | Sunday 31 December 2023

Brotherly Love

Greatest Motives for Holiness
1 Peter 1.14Teaching Sermon Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | Sunday 17 December 2023
The first motive is the goal and purpose of our calling- obedience to God and His Word in all aspects of life and behaviour. The second is the purity of God. The third is the eminence of the Redeemer who shed His blood for us.
Joy Should Never Fail
1 Peter 1.8Teaching Sermon Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | Sunday 10 December 2023
Inexpressible joy is the privileged possession of every believer, a joy distinct from the short-lived pleasure of, say, amazement or humour, or of unexpected kindness, or a gift. Spiritual joy endures alongside trial and grief, but it must be held tightly. Here is how.
