This sermon introduces the Book of James by examining its greeting to identify believers as exiles scattered in a fallen world. The preacher contrasts the human desire for comfort and self-sufficiency with the biblical reality that God often uses dispersion to humble His people and drive them toward dependence on Christ. Through examples from Genesis, Jeremiah, and Acts, the text illustrates how divine discipline redirects God's people to fulfill their mission rather than settle in complacency. The message emphasizes that humility and obedience to Jesus Christ are essential for enduring the pain of separation and displacement. Ultimately, the sermon offers hope by pointing to the eternal gathering of believers in Revelation, assuring them that their current exile is temporary and their true home is with God.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and **good hope through grace,** (2 Thessalonians 2:16) *1/ The need of a good hope. 2/ A good hope as defined by the Holy Spirit through Paul in this passage. 3/ A cause of thanksgiving.* ~~~~ This service was taken on Lord's Day afternoon at Milward House Pilgrim Home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. - The pdf hymn and reading sheet is downloadable below. ~~~~ **Sermon Summary:** The sermon examines the concept of a 'good hope' through grace, contrasting it with false hopes founded on human works or religious tradition. Drawing primarily from 2 Thessalonians 2, the text outlines seven characteristics that define genuine Christian hope, including divine calling, sanctification by the Spirit, and adherence to apostolic teaching. The message emphasizes that true hope is rooted solely in God's unmerited favour rather than personal merit, offering eternal security beyond the grave. It warns against deception and spiritual complacency, urging believers to hold fast to the faith once delivered. Ultimately, the passage calls for gratitude toward God for His sovereign choice and love, which establish believers in every good word and work.

In this exposition of 1 Peter 3:1-6, we learn how wives should respond to disobedient husbands. We discuss the meek and quiet spirit, authority, and the valuable role women have in making the home a happy place of joy and refreshment.
