Pastor Pete’s Global Day message explores who Jesus is, by focussing on Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Messiah, and Jesus’ promise to build His Church so that the ‘gates of Hades’ will not prevail against it. The Church overcomes through the power of the Gospel – a sin-conquering, death-defeating Gospel.

David’s victories in 2 Samuel 8 and 10 show God’s promise being fulfilled through His appointed king, but they also point to the greater victory of Jesus, who came to defeat sin, death, and the devil and restore God’s kingdom of justice and righteousness.Today, we do not fight with violence, but respond by surrendering to Jesus, trusting God’s grace, sharing the gospel, loving our enemies, and waging spiritual war through prayer.John 3:17–18, Revelation 19:11

Pastor Pete explores God’s promise to David that he would always have a son on the throne. The message shows David’s passion for God’s house, and the near fulfilment of the promise in Israel’s kings and its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus, the eternal King. It contrasts those who recognised Jesus as the Son of David with the Pharisees’ spiritual blindness, highlighting how Satan always distorts people’s understanding of the true King.

Who is ‘City on a Hill’? Pastor Pete shares who we are as a church – our identity and our vision for Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond. He also unpacks our church-planting vision via Go Global.
