Against the Grain, Week 1: Hope on the Horizon

About this episode

This episode discusses the hope found in Jesus Christ amidst trials and struggles, based on 1 Peter 1:3-9.

Following Jesus is not a ticket to an easy life. Every Christian will face trials and struggles. 1 Peter is written to Christians experiencing hardships that are testing their faith. In the opening of the letter, Peter reminds them of the hope that is theirs in Jesus Christ. It is this hope that can energize them to move forward and press on amid trials and uncertainties. In this message, we are invited to lift our eyes beyond our present struggles to look out on the horizon and see the hope that is ours in Christ.
