Message: “A Living Hope” from Zach Schlegel

1 Peter 1:3-12

Introduction

After Jesus died, the hopes of many of Jesus’ disciples died with Him. This wasn’t how they thought things would happen! And yet, when Christ rose from the dead three days later, that group of disciples was transformed from a fearful bunch to being bold, joyful and courageous. The Apostle Peter writes to a group of Christians (in modern day Turkey – 1:1) who were suffering and struggling to find a reason to praise God. But just as Peter had experienced a transformation because of the truth of the resurrection, he offers them the same living hope that’s true for them because of Christ and His resurrection. In 1:3-12, Peter offers 3 reasons to praise God based on what He provides.
