Living Hope 01 | 1 Peter 1:1-12 | Dave Gibbons

In 1 Peter 1:1–12, Peter writes to believers living as sojourners and exiles, reminding them that their true identity is rooted in God’s mercy, secured through the resurrection of Jesus, and sustained by a living hope that cannot be taken away. This sermon opens our summer series through 1 Peter by showing how the gospel gives Christians a new identity, a lasting inheritance, and a hope strong enough to endure suffering, uncertainty, and life in a world that is not our final home.
