Great Purpose Great Promises

Sep 7, 2025    Pastor Mel Svendsen

In this powerful exploration of 1 Peter, we delve into the concept of our identity as God's people and the living hope we have in Christ. The apostle Peter, once a denier of Jesus, now stands as a beacon of restoration and hope. We're reminded that our suffering is temporary and yields great blessings, challenging us to find purpose in our faith journey. The message emphasizes the mystery of salvation, balancing God's sovereignty with human responsibility. As we contemplate the vastness of God's creation - from the tiniest cell to the trillions of galaxies - we're invited to marvel at His wisdom and power. This teaching encourages us to embrace the complexity of our faith, finding comfort in the knowledge that while we may not fully understand God's ways, we can trust in His justice and holiness.
