“How to Love Life and See Good Days” | 1 Peter 3 Vs 8-12 - Living Hope

“Unashamed of The Name” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 12-16 - Living Hope

In this message from 1 Peter 4 Vs 12-16, Peter reminds suffering Christians not to be surprised when fiery trials come. Suffering is not proof that God has abandoned His people. Instead, God uses suffering to refine faith, conform believers to the pattern of Christ, reveal His presence, and teach us to suffer for the right reasons. The call is clear: do not be ashamed of the name of Christ, but glorify God in it.

“End-Time Ethics” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 7-11 - Living Hope

Jesus is coming again, and Peter reminds us that this truth should shape the way we live right now. In this message from 1 Peter 4 Vs 7-11, we look at how Christians are called to stay ready for Christ’s return by living with purpose, prayer, love, hospitality, and service. Rather than living distracted or spiritually asleep, believers are called to live alert, united, and actively using the gifts God has given them for His glory.

“Armed For Holiness” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 1-6 - Living Hope

In 1 Peter 4 Vs 1-6, Peter calls believers to live with the mind of Christ in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction. Following Jesus means being ready to suffer rather than compromise, making a clear break with the old life, and living with eternity in view. The Christian life is not about chasing comfort or approval, but about living the rest of our time for the will of God.

“We See Jesus” | 1 Peter 3 Vs 18-22 - Living Hope

In this sermon, we look at one of the more difficult but deeply rich passages in 1 Peter. Peter points suffering Christians to Jesus, reminding us that suffering is not defeat when we belong to the risen and reigning Christ. Through 1 Peter 3 Vs 18-22, we see the Suffering Christ, the Speaking Christ, the Saving Christ, and the Sovereign Christ. Jesus suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God. He speaks through His Word, saves His people through judgment, and now reigns at the right hand of God with all powers subject to Him. This passage also helps us think carefully about baptism, communion, faithful witness, God’s patience, and the hope we have when life is hard.

“The Inexplicable Life” | 1 Peter 3 Vs 13-17 - Living Hope

What does it look like to live a life that people can’t quite explain? In this passage, Peter shows that following Christ doesn’t just lead to blessing, it can also lead to suffering. The difference-maker is what’s happening in the heart. When Christ is truly set apart as Lord, it shapes how we live, how we endure hardship, and how we speak about our hope. This message walks through what it means to have a life that stands out in a world that doesn’t always understand it.
