THERE IS HOPE NO MATTER HOW DARK IT GETS
Are you running low on hope ? Financial pressures. Family drama. Failing health. And that was before a global pandemic. Will things ever get better? The way you imagine your future is crucial. It reveals whether or not you possess real hope. And it reveals where your hope lies. Misplaced hope is no hope at all.
In 1 Peter, we find hope that endures through every trial and can’t be taken away. It's the hope that lies at the center of Christian faith and life; hope that transforms the way we live every single day.
What difference does the message of Jesus make in our everyday lives? How are we supposed to live like Jesus in a world that runs so counter to his teachings? Why do we struggle to make progress in our spiritual growth? Why do bad things happen when we are trying to do good? Why do we suffer?
In his first letter to the early churches, Peter dives into these questions with courage and clarity. But he also writes as a pastor, addressing the hearts of those he loves. This year can be different as we step away from a hopeless past, into a hopeful future!
