1 Peter | Part 2 | Who Do You Think I Am? with Rev. Terence Gray

In this week's sermon, Rev. Terence Gray delves into the shift from Christendom to a post-Christendom society, exploring how the church can thrive even when it is not the dominant voice in society. Drawing on the early church's example, he emphasizes the need to move from a Christendom mode-where Christians go with the cultural flow-to an apostolic mode, which requires proactive faith and swimming against the current. Using the analogy of a lazy river, Rev. Gray highlights the importance of actively living out our faith in today's challenging environment. He explores the concept of being a church in the wild, where Christians are no longer supported by societal structures like blue laws but must represent God through their lives. Through 1 Peter, he paints a picture of the church as the new temple and believers as a royal priesthood, called to give their lives away rather than guard their way of life. Join us as we learn how to embody the Christian life by giving ourselves for others, inspired by the sacrificial love of Jesus.
