The Birth of Hope

This week we look at some of the lesser known stories of Easter that demonstrate why we can place our hope and trust in God and the gift He gave through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus.

The Promised Son and the Sacrifice: Genesis 21-22

What do you put ahead of God in your life? Is it your kids, your hobbies, your time? The Lord asks us to lay those things before Him and make Him first in our lives. This week we look at Genesis chapters 21-22 to see the faith of Abraham when the Lord asked him to sacrifice his son and the faithfulness of our Lord to Abraham’s obedience.

1 Peter 4:7 – 5:14

From a worldly perspective suffering is seen as a negative thing but we as believers can rest assured that suffering is a blessing from God used to strengthen our faith in Him.  As we wrap up our study on 1 Peter, we see that we can rely on the hope that we have in Christ and our fellowship with other believers to carry us through trials and to encourage us as we look forward to Christ’s return.
