Aghavea Parish Church

Last night, as we celebrated the Lord's Supper, we heard how the cross achieved our Freedom . Rev Gary McMurray was preaching from 1 Peter 1: 13-23. Tonight we come to the end of our Cross Purposes series as we meet in Aghavea Church at 8pm, to consider the theme of Forgiveness. You're very welcome to join with us.

On Sunday we saw why Peter says we shouldn't be surprised by suffering - as well as the true grace that God gives to help us stand.

On Sunday morning we were continuing our series in 1 Peter, as Peter reminds us that time is short . How can we best use our time in the service of God?

On Sunday morning we were delighted to welcome Alastair Donaldson as our visiting preacher. Alastair is a first year ordinand at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, and preached from 1 Peter 3:13-22 . Listen in here.

On Sunday morning, we continued in our series studying Peter's first letter. Having discovered that Christians are God's chosen people, Peter goes on to help us live as aliens and exiles in this world.

On Sunday morning at our Family Service, we were thinking about building the church - not of stone or brick, but of living stones - people, built on Christ the cornerstone (1 Peter 2:4-10). In the Brooke Hall on Sunday evening, we learnt about the promise of the Holy Spirit from the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37.

On Sunday morning our reading was 1 Peter 1:22-2:3, where Peter writes to the scattered Christians about the imperishable word which, like a seed has been planted deeply in their hearts, and which they should long like babies wanting their milk. What is the fruit of the seed? Genuine mutual love.

On Sunday we continued our series in 1 Peter as we discovered that God's true grace for elect exiles makes us ransomed, holy children . (1 Peter 1:13-21)

On Sunday we began a new series in Peter's first epistle, looking at the True Grace of God (5:12). From chapter 1, God's True Grace makes us Chosen Exiles .
