Living Hope (Click Here for Resources)

Passage: 1 Peter 1:1-5

Speaker: Brian Land

Series: 1 Peter

Category: Grace Brevard

Keywords: community, hope, idols, strangers, outward, empowered

Everybody taps into something to find life, peace and satisfaction, but all of these sources, even the really “good” ones, are merely secondary pools that are fed by the Living Source of Life, Christ himself. By the death and resurrection of Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are invited, enabled and secured into the Living Hope that, as opposed to all other sources, is infinitely alive, offers us infinite life, and personally empowers us to live out our Hope in everyday life.
