  • “The Roaring Lion and the God of All Grace” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 8-14 - Living Hope

    “The Roaring Lion and the God of All Grace” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 8-14 - Living Hope
    Jun 28 2026
    In this sermon from 1 Peter 5 Vs 8-14, Peter closes his letter by reminding suffering Christians to stay sober-minded, watchful, and steadfast. The Christian life is lived in the presence of a real enemy, but Satan is not the final focus. The devil may prowl and roar, but the God of all grace restores, establishes, strengthens, and settles His people. Peter calls believers to know their enemy without fearing him, resist him by standing firm in the faith, and trust the God who has called them to eternal glory in Christ Jesus. The lion is real, but God has the final word.

  • “Clothed With Humility” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 5-7 - Living Hope

    “Clothed With Humility” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 5-7 - Living Hope
    Jun 21 2026
    In this message from 1 Peter 5 Vs 5-7, we look at Peter’s call for believers to live with humility in every area of life. In a culture that celebrates pride and self-promotion, God calls His people to submit to His design, serve one another, and trust His care. We’ll see how humility shapes our relationships within the church, our relationship with God, and our ability to surrender our worries to Him. As we learn to clothe ourselves with humility, we discover the grace, strength, and peace that come from trusting in God's perfect timing and faithful care.

  • “Sheep Need Shepherds” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 1-4 - Living Hope

    “Sheep Need Shepherds” | 1 Peter 5 Vs 1-4 - Living Hope
    Jun 14 2026
    As Peter closes his first letter, he turns to the elders of the church and calls them to shepherd the flock of God. This message reminds us that God’s people are like sheep: vulnerable, dependent, and prone to wander. Because of that, Christ gives shepherds to His church to care, feed, protect, guide, and watch over His people. But Peter also shows that shepherds must lead with humility. They are not owners of the flock, but stewards entrusted with people who belong to God. Elders are called to serve willingly, eagerly, and by example, not through force, greed, or control. Above all, this passage points us to Jesus, the Chief Shepherd. Human leaders may fail, but Christ never fails His flock. He suffered first, He will return in glory, and He promises an unfading crown to those who faithfully serve Him.

  • “Saved Through Difficulty” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 17-19 - Living Hope

    “Saved Through Difficulty” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 17-19 - Living Hope
    Jun 7 2026
    In this sermon, we look at Peter’s encouragement to believers who are suffering because of their faith. Peter reminds us that suffering does not mean God has abandoned us. Instead, God often uses hardship to refine His people, strengthen their faith, and teach them to trust Him more deeply. Through the images of the furnace, the road, and the bank, we see that God is purifying His children, leading them safely through a difficult journey, and calling them to commit their souls to Him while continuing to do good. The Christian road may be hard, but the destination is secure because our lives are held by a faithful Creator.

    “Unashamed of The Name” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 12-16 - Living Hope
    May 31 2026
    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.

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

    “Armed For Holiness” | 1 Peter 4 Vs 1-6 - Living Hope
    May 17 2026
    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

    “We See Jesus” | 1 Peter 3 Vs 18-22 - Living Hope
    May 10 2026
    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.
