Week 1 - Real Hope

October 13, 2024 • Clint Conner • 1 Peter 1:1–12

In today's world, hope is often misunderstood. Through 1 Peter, we explore real, biblical hope, which is a confident expectation in God's promises. Unlike worldly hope, biblical hope is steadfast and unshakeable. Understanding our identity in Christ helps us navigate life's challenges, knowing our hope is rooted in Christ's resurrection. This hope sustains us through suffering, refining our faith and reminding us of our eternal inheritance in Jesus.

Week 6 - Understanding The Cost Of Loving Others

November 17, 2024 • David Gaylor • 1 Peter 4

Christian suffering is distinct from human suffering, as it involves enduring rejection and ridicule for the sake of Christ. This suffering serves a higher purpose, allowing us to share our faith and hope with others. Christlike love, exemplified by Jesus, involves doing what is right and best for others at personal cost. The Holy Spirit guides us in living out this love through prayer, hospitality, and using our gifts to serve others.

Week 4 - Set Apart To Stand Out

November 3, 2024 • 1 Peter 2:11–23

In a world that often opposes our faith, 1 Peter 2:11-23 teaches us to live for Jesus amidst suffering and trials. We are called to abstain from sinful desires, conduct ourselves honorably, and submit to authority while reflecting our new life in Christ. By following Jesus' example of humility and self-denial, we can make a lasting impact and stand out for God's glory.
