Living Hope (The Vine)

April 16, 2023

What does it mean to have a living hope? Is there such a thing as a dead hope? How does Christ give us living hope? What does living hope look like? 1 Peter reminds us that we have an inheritance, we have faith in Christ not in ourselves, we have an inexpressible joy, and ability to live life in the now!

Living Water (The Vine)

May 28, 2023

Jesus makes the “I Am” statement. I Am the Living Water. I Am the one who will give you living water that will quench questions of the heart. When you thirst for something more –I am that something more. When you are looking for something else to fill the void, I Am that something else. I Am the one who will cause rivers of joy to flood your soul. I Am the one who allows peace to fill you up. I Am the one who will give you a life filled with meaning and purpose.

Peter says in hard times, be encouraged. You are not alone. In difficult times, be faithful you will not be left alone. In times of fear, have faith. In times of temptation, be self- controlled. God in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit will help you stand strong, firm and steadfast.

Steward of Grace (The Vine)

Peter calls us to dedicate ourselves to God for the long haul just as Jesus dedicated Himself to God. Jesus was a steward of God’s grace and calls us to do the same. What does it mean to be a steward of Grace?
