EMBRACE WEIRD: Honour, Endure, Entrust — 1 Peter 2:11-25 | Tim Baxter

Series: EMBRACE WEIRD: Reclaim the Genius of the First Christians from First PeterDate: 22 February 2026Preacher: Rev Tim BaxterScripture: 1 Peter 2:11-25--In 1 Peter 2:11–25, Peter tackles the tension Christians live in — belonging to God while feeling like outsiders in the world. Three words shape the response: honour, endure, entrust. We're called to live with honour — beautiful conduct in our communities and workplaces — not just keeping out of trouble, but proactively doing good. We're called to endure unjust suffering rather than escape it, showing grace to those who don't deserve it, as God has shown us. And we're called to entrust our identity, our hopes, and our souls to God who judges justly — following the example of Jesus who suffered without retaliating. The anchor for all of this: Jesus is the shepherd and overseer of our souls, keeping us for eternity.--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]
