Great Mercy – Part 2

Sunday Evening Service – March 15, 2026Text: 1 Peter 1:3–5Title: Great Mercy – Part 2Join us this Sunday evening as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce continues the message “Great Mercy – Part 2” from 1 Peter 1:3–5. In this powerful passage, the Apostle Peter directs believers to the incredible mercy of God that has given us new life, a living hope, and an eternal inheritance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.In 1 Peter 1:3, we are reminded that our salvation is not the result of human effort but of the abundant mercy of God. Because of His great mercy, believers are “begotten again unto a lively hope” by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The resurrection is the foundation of our hope and the assurance that what God has promised is certain and secure.Verse 4 lifts our eyes toward the eternal inheritance that awaits every child of God. Peter describes it as “incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” While everything in this world is temporary and uncertain, the inheritance God has prepared for His people is perfect, pure, and everlasting.In verse 5, we see the wonderful promise that believers are “kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.” Our security does not rest in our own strength, but in the sustaining power of God Himself, who guards and preserves His people until the day when our salvation is fully revealed.This message will explore:• The greatness of God’s mercy in providing salvation• The living hope believers have through the resurrection of Christ• The eternal inheritance reserved for the children of God• The power of God that keeps and secures every believerCome join us as we continue studying this rich passage of Scripture and reflect on the wonderful mercy of God that gives hope, security, and assurance to every believer.
