Our Hope Part 1

March 6, 2021

Have you ever received a note of encouragement right in the midst of great suffering?  A well-spoken word at just the right time can really be helpful. And that’s what we find in the epistle of First Peter.  It was written to Christians who were unjustly persecuted, and encountering fiery trials.   We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God’s encouragement and instruction for this difficult season of life we’re in.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson speaks of a living hope. 

References: 1 Peter 1:3-5

Jesus faced rejection when He was on earth, and so will we as His followers.  Perhaps we’ll be ridiculed, passed over for a job promotion, or maybe even looked down upon by our own family.  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson delivers encouraging words from First Peter, which was written to suffering saints.  In chapter two Jesus is described as the cornerstone, and we are living stones in a relationship with Him!  That means we’re going to face the same kind of rejection He experienced.

Typically Christians either believe God elects some for salvation, or that man is responsible and has the freedom to choose to be saved.  But is it possible God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility merge together?  While it may seem they’re contradictory could it be they’re actually complimentary to one another!  See how the two intersect today on Sound Doctrine as our study of First Peter continues!
