Jesus goes straight from the water (His baptism), into the wilderness (His temptation). In the water – the faith-building place of acceptance, blessing and commissioning – the Word of God came over Him. And in the wilderness – the desolate place of danger, rejection and fear – the Word of God came out of Him. This is a pattern, for us. Because for the rest of our earthly lives, it’s going to be all about the water, and the wilderness.
At 3Ci, we believe that all of scripture can be summarised in one word: “Father”. So like the disciples, we say “show us the Father and that will be enough for us”’ and through every moment and all our ministries, we pursue the Father heart of God for ourselves and those we do life with.

A Cleansing, Commissioning, Covenant
Through the first letter of the impulsive, ambitious and sometimes violent Peter we see a remarkable picture of a transformed, restored and equipped apostle (sent ones) of Jesus Christ. Peter is an example to us all of our need for covenant, cleansing and commissioning. From our sincere failed attempts at greatness to our glaring obvious shortcomings, all can be covered, all can be restored and all can even be used to the glory of God. Through Peter’s words we see Jesus and the effect of His blood impacting our lives in 5 transformative ways.
