Sermon | ”Living in a Living Hope” | August 6

St. Peter, in the opening of his letter, reminds us that we are temporary residents here on earth. And, the trials we experience while here, are also temporary. BUT, what we possess in Christ, what have been won for us through death and resurrection, what is ours through the pure gift of grace...that, that is eternal. By focusing on God's larger story, His eternal plan, and our eternal inheritance in Christ, we are able to stand the test of faith and be filled with inexpressible and glorious joy.
