The first century church had a host of challenges. Believers who were trying to return to an old covenant relationship with the Father, false teachers confusing and distracting the church, persecution, and the threat of Rome. Hope seemed like it was hard to come by at times… and it can be the same with us now. Sometimes the challenges of life and our natural inclination to be self-centered can make us forget about or diminish the power of the hope we have in Christ Jesus. In this message from 1 Peter 3, Pastor shines a light on the power of hope in Jesus and exhorts us to engage it – especially when it’s hard.
