Hope is Possible!
Be hopeful... no matter what. Is it really possible? What does it mean to be hopeful? How can I be hopeful? When Peter wrote to the Jewish Christians driven out of Jerusalem and scattered throughout Asia Minor, they likely had these same questions that we're asking today. In this first message from our new series in 1 Peter, we answer these important questions. Answers that can fill us with hope!
From Series: "1 Peter: Be Hopeful - No Matter What "
Many first-century followers of Christ were suffering and being abused and persecuted for believing and obeying Jesus. Beaten and jailed himself, Peter knew persecution firsthand. He had seen fellow Christians die and the church scatter from Jerusalem. But Peter knew Christ and nothing could shake his confidence in his risen Lord. In this personal context, Peter wrote to the church scattered and suffering for they faith with this encouraging message: Be Hopeful - No Matter What!
