1 Peter 1:1-9 ~ Where There Is Christ - There Is Hope ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh

Just this week, the Rev. Billy Graham warned American churches, "Prepare for Persecution."  This message begins a new series in Peter's first letter called, "Hope in Shaky Times."  What ever your shaky times and circumstances are, "What does it mean to have a living hope?"  When we face trouble and distress, what does it mean to have a hope that is fully grounded in Jesus Christ? Peter is uniquely qualified to speak of hope in a way that instills hope and confidence in Christ, no matter what we are going through.
