Join Senior Minister Chris Gregg in the powerful kickoff to our series Living Hope: a Study of 1 Peter at First Christian Church in Brazil, Indiana. In this sermon on 1 Peter 1:1-12, explore how Peter's message to scattered believers offers unshakable living hope grounded in Christ's resurrection, even amid trials and exile.

Discover your identity as God's chosen, sanctified by the Spirit and cleansed by Christ's blood. Learn how new birth leads to an imperishable inheritance, with faith refined like gold through fire. Chris unpacks how prophets and angels longed for this salvation we now live in—turning hopelessness into joy and confidence in a known God.

Whether you're facing personal storms or cultural pressures, this message reminds us: Hope isn't wishful thinking; it's anchored in an empty tomb. As C.S. Lewis said, "We were made for another world." Don't miss this transformative teaching on Christian hope and faith tested by trials.

Key Takeaways:

- Exiles with eternal identity: Chosen, sanctified, secure.

- New birth into living hope through resurrection power.

- Trials refine faith, leading to inexpressible joy.

- Prophets inquired, angels longed—now it's our reality.

- Live as heaven's citizens, anchored in Christ.
