1 Peter | Jesus Christ is Our Living Hope (1:1-9) | John Baker

What kind of hope actually holds when life starts falling apart?In this message from 1 Peter 1:1-9, we explore the unshakable reality that Jesus Christ is our living hope. Not a fragile, wishful optimism, but a confident, resurrection-rooted hope that steadies us in suffering, secures our future, and anchors our identity as God’s people.Written to believers scattered, misunderstood, and under pressure, Peter’s words remind us that being “elect exiles” means we may feel out of place in the world, but we are never out of place with God. Through the mercy of the Father, the finished work of the Son, and the ongoing work of the Spirit, we’ve been born again into something eternal, imperishable, and unbreakable. If you’re walking through trials, wrestling with doubt, or wondering if your faith can actually last, this message is for you.Because if Jesus is alive, then your hope is too.
