Peter – a rock with a history

Summer preaching 2020

In the next few months, no stones in this church will be more important than the ‘living stones’ of which it is made. On a good day, we find that prospect inspiring – but on a bad one it is intimidating for those of us who are aware of our own weaknesses. The ‘living stones’ description arises from Peter, described by Jesus as the kind of rock on which he could build his church. In this honest look at Peter’s life – both highs and lows, we shall consider what is to be learnt for living stones like us.
