Annual Christmas Concert

You know our lives are pretty good here in Salt Lake City, but this week Peter is going to remind us that sometimes “fiery trials” come on us as believers from out of nowhere. Peter doesn’t want us to think these trials strange, but rather be prepared to face them with faith and trust in God. This week we will continue in our 1 Peter series, Firm in the Faith, looking at 1 Peter 4:12-19 which provides a pathway forward in the midst of the suffering we will face. Peter will tell us to rejoice, do good, and entrust our souls to God – knowing that the suffering is in God’s hands, it will refine us, God will be with us, and ultimately there will be life and joy to be had as a follower of Jesus. No matter what you may be facing, God wants to walk with you and see you through it. Let’s entrust ourselves to him.

Life can be difficult and it is easy to focus more on the obstacles that confront us everyday over Jesus. 1 Peter is a book of hope that reminds us of what Jesus has done for us as believers to make our salvation sure. Peter wants to tilt our head up from the day to day problems of life to remember the hope of our salvation in Christ. He encourages us to have a forward lean to our faith that is looking forward to the completion of our salvation when Christ returns. His message to us is that if you can keep your eyes focused on what Jesus has accomplished and our salvation to come, you can face any obstacle in life-Firm in the Faith. Join us as we hear what God has to say to us as we explore this short and punchy book over the summer!
