Hope in Christ in the Midst of Suffering and Adversity

We continue studying 1 Peter, and what a blessing it has been. It has challenged us to respond to God’s exhortations, and it undoubtedly continues to sanctify us to live according to His purpose for our lives individually, and as a Church corporately. We will see the blessing we have with our hope in Christ; the One who sustains us in the midst of any difficulty and who, through His suffering and victory, opens a direct path for us to God.

From Series: “2025 – Firm in the Faith: 1 Peter “
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!
