The post Sunday Service – 31st May 10.30 appeared first on Ridgeway Community Church.

This Sunday our Pastor will be preaching. Under the heading “Baptism and Salvation” we take a look at 1 Peter 3 verses 19-21.

What does it mean that Noah and his family were saved through water? Why does Peter make mention of Noah and the flood at all? How is Baptism viewed? Should people who believe upon the Lord Jesus be baptised?

The Bible is clear that salvation is by grace alone no one deserves forgiveness for their sins, no one can earn eternal life and no religious rite of any kind can bring a person in to right relationship with God.

We need to understand the relationship between becoming a Christian and baptism in water.

In those verses there are some quite difficult references to understand. What does it mean that Jesus preached to the spirits in prison? What about Noah – how does he fit in the description? When we read of baptism in relation to the salvation written about, what does it tell us about baptism?

Those verses are in fact a wonderful description of what Jesus has achieved for those who believe.

Come and hear God’s word.

Continuing the series of sermons in the first letter of Peter we consider verses 13-17 under the heading “The real good life”.

In this passage we find the expression ” following after that which is good”. Once more the believer in Jesus is urged to live in obedience to Jesus even when it does bring opposition and hostile reactions from others. If we are to persevere we need Jesus to be the central focus and foundation of our life. That is the real good life! It brings with it God’s blessing.

This is the second in an occasional series on the “I am” statements in the Old Testament. These are where God’s name “I am” has a suffix which describes his relationship to his people. The subject of healing can be controversial amongst Christians and it is important to see this verse in its context. The Israelites are on their way to the promised land and our ultimate healing lies in heaven, but as healing was part of the ministry of Jesus, so it can be our experience as well.

“In Daniel chapter three we read of King Nebuchadnezzar’s pride as he sets himself up as a deity and requires all people to bow and worship his image. Under great pressure, and the terrifying consequence of being thrown into a fiery furnace, how do God’s people respond, and what can we learn from this account today? First and foremost, this passage demonstrates God’s saving power for those who trust him.”

He will be looking at the passage in 1 Peter chapter 3 verses 8-12. The title of his sermon is, “Loving in the church, living in the world”.

We will learn how a true believer in Jesus should behave. Peter has been describing how Christians should live in respect of those in authority, in the workplace, in the home as husbands and wives and in the church.

In this passage Peter homes in a little more detail about our relationship as Christians with other Christians within in a specific fellowship and our relationship and attitude towards those who are not Christians.

We are challenged and encouraged! We hope you will listen.
