EMBRACE WEIRD: Homeward Bound — 1 Peter 5:1-14 | Josh Hayward

Series: EMBRACE WEIRD: Reclaim the Genius of the First Christians from First PeterDate: 29 March 2026Preacher: Josh Hayward (from Moore College)Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-14--1 Peter 5 calls believers to persevere by holding tightly to Jesus, the Chief Shepherd, as they journey toward their eternal home. The Christian life is like a difficult road trip — full of noise and distraction — but Peter urges us to stay faithful because glory awaits.Three anchors for perseverance: cling to the Shepherd who cares with perfect authority; live in humility by casting your anxieties on God; and stay watchful against spiritual attack, trusting that present suffering is brief compared to eternal glory.The foundation is this: Jesus has already won. Through his death and resurrection, the victory is secured. Believers can trust him completely as they await his return and the unfading crown of glory he will give to all who remain faithful.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.christrefuge.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email [email protected]
