The Missionary Journeys of Peter – Imperfect Apostle – November 16th 2025

We often link the spread of Christianity to the travels of Paul the Apostle. But Peter is actually mentioned more often in the New Testament and planted several churches. What does his work tell us about our mission today and his role as a father figure to the worldwide church.

Peter and The Inconvenient Holy Spirit – Imperfect Apostle – 9 November 2025

Peter argues with God a fair bit. In this story from Acts 10 God tells him to set aside food purity laws and open up the gospel to people from other ethnicities. Peter argues with this but then responds to an invitation to the house of a Gentile centurion. This day changed world history.

Pentecost and the Gospel – Imperfect Apostle – 12th October 2025

In a moment that would provoke 3000 to pledge their allegiance to Jesus, Peter roots his call to them, his proclamation of the good news, in the promises of God and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. How does this key story in the Bible narrative help us live as spirit filled Jesus storytellers today.

Even Peter – Forgiveness and Second Chances – October 26th 2025

Even Peter.

Forgiveness as a core characteristic of Christian character. Peter would quiz Jesus about how many times we should forgive (70 X 7 – not just the normal 7). But he became the great denier and had to be hoping that there would be forgiveness for him. As one of his final acts Jesus reinstates him. What does this say to us about our own frailty and God’s grace. An what do we learn about the new carriers of forgiveness.

Sadly the first few minutes were missed due to a technical fault.

The Mountains and the Valleys – October 19th 2025

Peter’s Struggles With Jesus Identity. The Transfiguration is a key event in helping Peter and the disciples move beyond their ‘Jesus as a prophet of God’ ideas and start to understand more fully that he was the Son of God. – This claim would draw greater anger from the elite of his day but would have huge implications for his death and resurrection.

The Imperfect Apostle

The Apostle Peter was this glorious, adventurous and sometimes a bit flawed, member of the disciples of Jesus. He is mentioned more than any other figure except Jesus in the New Testament. He helped set the stage for a fresh understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit and the mission of the followers of Jesus to the world. This seven part series charts key moments in his life and the wisdom he brings for our lives today.
