This address by Pastor Peter is based on 1 Kings 6:16-20 and is entitled, THE ENORMOUS PRIVILEGE OF BEING A CHRISTIAN. The theme of the address is the structural and ornamental details of the Temple constructed by Solomon prophetically. These are not mere idle details, but they foreshadow the Christian's great privilege today of being in the true church, the spiritual temple of God. If you find this video to be helpful and would like learn more about the key doctrines of the Christian faith and its glorious message of salvation, the 4-part video course entitled 12 KEY DOCTRINES, with downloadable notes, can be purchased in the CLASSROOM SECTION.

Welcome to our community. The aim is to provide formal instruction in essential Christian doctrine for a right understanding of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Standing as I do in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation, this means that my foundation is the principle of ‘sola scriptura’, which is Latin for ‘by Scripture alone’. In other words, the Bible is our only authority, because it is the inspired word of God and totally without error. It is also our duty as Christians not to be remotely influenced by the fashionable philosophies of our contemporary society, which has generally turned its back on God and become anti-Christian in its character. Sadly many mainstream churches have feebly capitulated to the ‘woke’ forces of cultural Marxism. We rejoice in all the precious truths which the Bible teaches us, and my desire is to make these truths known to all who are serious about finding God, or who desire to serve Him more faithfully and mature in their understanding. So we recommend to you our 12 KEY DOCTRINES video-based course, which can be accessed in the CLASSROOM section. To see if this may be for you, there is a WELCOME VIDEO and a 30 minute free trial teaching video. May the Lord richly bless us, as we study His word together.
