This Week - Stand Firm

This Sunday at St Kea, we come to the final part of our journey through 1 Peter. Throughout this letter, we have been reminded that as followers of Jesus, we are exiles in this world—called to live differently, stand firm in faith, and entrust ourselves to God, even in suffering. 

As Peter brings his letter to a close (1 Peter 5:8-14), he gives us a final call to be alert. The Christian life is not without opposition, and we are urged to stand firm, knowing that we are not alone in the struggles we face. In the midst of the trials of this life, we are a people of real hope. After we have suffered “for a little while,” God Himself will restore, strengthen, and establish us. 

How can we remain steadfast in a world that often feels against us? What have we learned from 1 Peter about living as God’s people on the margins? Join us this Sunday as we draw together the key themes of this letter and reflect on what it means to stand firm in the true grace of God. 

Refreshments are served both before and after our gathering. Our normal groups for children and young people continue. A livestream will be broadcast and prayer ministry will be available after the service.

Eat Together- this Sunday

Straight after the service this week we will be having a time of fellowship together with a ‘Bring and Share’ lunch.

If you haven’t been to one before just bring something simple to share e.g. bread, sausage rolls, fruit, cake etc… We will provide the plates and drinks. Please add any food you bring to the table at the back when you arrive at church in the morning. We hope you can all join us.

Fellowship Evening - TONIGHT

This week instead of meeting in our small groups we will be meeting together at our Fellowship evening at Kea Church.

Weekly Prayer Points

Each week there will be a few things for our church life and church family that we can join in praying for:

1. Help us to remain steadfast in our faith this week Lord. Give us the strength to stand firm in Your promises, no matter what challenges we face. May we always trust in You, knowing that You are our rock and our refuge.

2. Thank you for the work of Compassion and for the opportunity for our Sunday club to sponsor a child through them. We pray for Steve and his family and ask for God’s provision and protection over them. We thank you for the provision of education for Steve and pray he will thrive in the classroom and work hard in his classes. We also pray for for good physical and emotion health for Steve.

3. Andy Boorne writes; Kenwyn congregation want to say thank you for the people across Trinity who have been praying for us. If you are one of those praying please thank God for answer to prayers for the folk in our congregation. Also, for our Lent course and those doing daily devotions through Lent, especially with Matt Searle's book. Please pray for ongoing connections with new people trying out the church and possible new contacts within the local communities. Please also pray for the children's work, and growing work in schools and nursing homes and that God will move by His spirit in each person's heart to draw them closer to Himself in truth and love. God bless from Kenwyn.
