In this Easter season, we have a series of readings following the teaching of the Apostle Peter.  Have you ever wondered what Jesus explained to the Apostles after the Resurrection?  We don't have to wonder because they preached it - they wrote it down for us!  In today's readings we hear Peter preaching and read his encouragement to the early church about the impact of the resurrection which gives hope, inheritance, a shield and joy!

A prophetic word was given in the service.  This is transcribed under the video below.
Prophetic Word brought by Helen Hardcastle.  16th April 2023 10am service. 
Position in the video 1:04:56

“Trust in me with confidence.  There are other things you have put your confidence in and they have failed, but I will never fail.  You may trust me because I went to the uttermost to save you, I went to the depths so that you can go to the heights; I went to great lengths to come to you, to collect you, not to leave you, not to abandon you as orphans, not to leave you to the fate to which you were headed, but I come that you may have life and have it to the full.  So stop looking at your life as it is right now and look to me.  Look to me for the hope that I have for you.  It is the solid and sure and certain hope.”
