This sermon from October 2023, based on 1 Peter 1, centers on the concept of "living hope" through Jesus Christ, especially for believers facing trials. Pastor Bryan contrasts worldly hope, which is often uncertain, with biblical hope, which is a confident expectation rooted in God's promises. Using personal stories and biblical examples, he illustrates how earthly hopes may disappoint, but hope in Jesus is anchored in His resurrection and unchanging promises. He emphasizes that believers' inheritance in Christ is imperishable and that God holds onto us even in suffering, providing comfort, strength, and a future that is eternally secure in His love.
