Rarely do you hear the words "hope" and "suffering" used in the same sentence. But, not so for Christians.
In the letter of 1 Peter we see the word hope used five times and the words suffering/sufferings used six times. Peter explains that part of the secret of enduring suffering - especially suffering for our faith - is understanding "hope redefined".
This is the first of a two-part utterly practical message on hope and suffering. Next week we'll hear part two. We urge you to not miss either of them.

Week One
May 21, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
A year ago we would've never imagined how many people we would connect with outside of our church during this season, and we're so thrilled about that. This kind of connection wasn't necessarily in our plans, but if there's one thing we've learned more than anything else, it's that life simply doesn't happen the way we plan. The truth is a lot of the unexpected turns recently are not the kind we want to look back and remember. And for many of us, the waters are still turbulent. Where do we go when we hurt? When we ache? Where is the safe harbour? Pastor Warwick will begin to help answer some of these hard questions in our brand new series Hope: Redefined.
Week Two
May 28, 2021 • Bill Koogler
It’s crazy to think we are nearly half-way through 2021. It is a much different year than the notorious 2020 – something we talk about all too often. But the reality is that this is a completely different year, and at Fellowship Dubai we can’t help but feel hopeful on many different levels! Pastor Bill brings us week 2 of the Hope: Redefined sermon series.
Week Three
June 4, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
The good news? As believers, we've been gifted a completely different role in life... a brand new identity. And it is spectacular! We are royalty. We are priests. We belong to a people. The problem? In this role, the world won't recognise this new identity. It will be maligned and slandered. Pastor Warwick will help us understand why this actually isn't a problem at all, in week 3 of Hope: Redefined.
