Living Hope

Oct 5, 2025    Pastor Arthur J. James

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the vital importance of living hope in a dying world. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3-7, we explore four compelling reasons why Christians should maintain vibrant hope: our new life in Christ, our priceless inheritance, divine protection, and faith that continues to grow. The sermon challenges us to wake up our hope, especially when comfort is challenged and trials abound. We're encouraged to view our struggles as opportunities for spiritual growth, remembering that these trials are temporary - 'for a little while.' This message invites us to trust in God's timing and protection, even when circumstances seem bleak. It's a call to live with great expectation, knowing that our hope in Christ is alive and active, capable of sustaining us through life's toughest moments.
