Worship and Witness

• A people belonging to God – a kingdom of priests and a holy nation

 

 

 

Who we are, in Christ, shapes our worship and our witness

Hope and Holiness

What is holiness and how do you be holy? 

 

Focus on Jesus (1:13-14)

.. as God’s people who fear our Father in heaven  (1:15-17)

 

.. and who trust God through the work of Jesus (1:18-21)

  

Let God’s powerful word keep transforming your heart (1:22-2:1)

 

.. and keep being thirsty to grow (2:2-3)

 

For Christians being holy is being who we are in Christ!
