Reject the worthless, choose the precious! 1 Peter 2 part 1

Peter makes some stark contrasts between what was before Jesus and what is now, after Jesus.

A brand new Saunter through the two letters of Peter - the guy who hid in the shadows, who then became the leading spokesperson for the first generation apostles.

When rocks are raining down on your head, not because of an avalanche, but because a lynch mob are trying to kill you, things are getting pretty tough. It's often hard to see what purpose is served by times of immense pressure or trials. The apostle Paul calls this process tribulation.

Jesus left his disciples with the expectation that he was going to return pretty soon. We take a quick look at Christian eschatology since his departure and realise that it has been a long wait! We see two processes at work: renewal and stasis. We consider the way these seasons affect the attitudes and culture within the church at the time.
