This Sunday we begin a new series titled CHRIST—Our Living Hope in 1 Peter! Peter's story in his journey from everyday fisherman to apostle, is one that many of us might identify with. Jesus had His hand on him from the day that they met and, despite his many missteps, Peter became the fisher of men Jesus said He would make him into. In his letter to the elect exiles in Asia Minor, Peter writes and leads like an Apostle, but his pastoral heart is on full display. This Sunday we begin with an introduction. Maybe read the whole letter in preparation.

Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. He accomplished what was needed to give us life, His life, by taking our sins upon himself so that we might be forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit who imparts Christ's righteousness to us. His final words in Matt. 7:24-27 invite us to build our lives on Him!
