1 Peter 1:22-2:3
Even in trials, we rejoice—not because life is easy, but because Jesus is faithful. In 1 Peter 1:6–9, Peter shows us that tested faith leads to lasting joy, glory, and a deeper love for the Savior we cannot see but deeply trust.

In this first of many sermons in the books of 1 and 2 Peter, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the important theme of Peter's first letter: Take Heart! Because of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those who persevere in Him can have true hope amidst their own suffering and hardships, knowing that God's saving promises will be delivered both now and forever. This message also introduces the historical background of the Apostle Peter—his identity, relationship with Jesus, role in the early church, and legacy. This first message also highlights the foundational truths of 1 Peter 1:1–25, including the identity of believers as elect exiles, the new birth into a living hope, and the refining purpose of trials. These themes set the stage for the rest of the letter, emphasizing God's grace, the believer's secure future, and the reality of trials in a fallen world. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_8ae84fa32c58492d9282875e9fd6f208.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_07b9fd2f0068439689b8f6967063b052.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Today, Pastor Lloyd resumes his expositional study of First Peter. We'll be considering chapter one and the first three verses of chapter two, where we receive encouragement not only turn to God and His word in times if trial, but also to understand why God allows those trials in our lives. Look, no one likes to suffer hardship, but God has a wonderful plan to grow our faith through them.
When times are tough, the book of First Peter is a good place to turn. And that's where we're headed today and in the coming weeks on Bridging the Gap. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is going to show us how to live the Christian life in the context of suffering.
