Over 100 million Christians are experiencing real persecution around the globe. Right before His crucifixion, Jesus prepared His disciples for the battle ahead. In this message from John 15, Pastor Philip Miller draws the three distinctions Christians have in the face of opposition: a distinct allegiance, witness, and bearing.

As we prepare for this year's Celebration of Hope Gala & Silent Auction on March 14, we're bringing back one of the most powerful conversations shared on the Hope in the Good Life Podcast. In Episode 58, John Soukup sits down with Johnny Ray for a raw and deeply moving conversation about transformation, redemption, and the mercy of God. Once serving a life sentence, Johnny shares how his life was radically changed through faith, accountability, and the support of those who refused to give up on him. Johnny Ray will be the featured speaker at this year's Celebration of Hope Gala because his story powerfully reflects the mission of the Catholic Social Services Prison and Reentry Apostolate (PARA). His journey is proof that no one is beyond hope — and that restoration is possible when faith and community walk alongside those seeking a second chance. Register today for the Celebration of Hope Gala & Silent Auction at csshope.org.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you." 1 Peter 1:3–4  

On today's Healing Word broadcast, Pastor Jack Morris focuses on the powerful theme of hope—exploring what Christ can do in our lives that brings true joy and lasting confidence. Even in seasons of hardship or uncertainty, God's promises anchor our hearts and lift our spirits. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1528/29?v=20251111

I Peter 1:3-9 – Living Hope

General Meeting @ St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church - Pensacola, FL ~ February 8, 2026

Joash is a lesser known king with an important lesson for us today. Under the mentorship of the priest Jehoiada, Joash accomplished great things. But after Jehoiada’s death, Joash was quickly led astray. Joash's life serves as a warning about the limits of spiritual mentorship. While mentorship is good, it cannot replace one's own personal relationship with God. 2 Chronicles 22:10-12 – When the wicked Queen Athaliah (daughter of Jezebel) massacred children of the royal household, God worked through Princess Jehosheba to save the life of a baby boy named Joash. 2 Chronicles 23:1-15 – Joash was hidden in the Temple for 6 years. Under the leadership of Priest Jehoiada, Athaliah was overthrown and Joash became king. Deuteronomy 17:18-20 – Jehoiada gave Joash the Law of God. God instructed kings to make a copy of the Law, stay humble, and diligently study. 2 Chronicles 23:16-24:14 – Under Jehoiada's mentorship, Joash repaired the Temple, removed idols, and did building projects. 2 Chronicles 24:15-26 – After Jehoiada died, Joash was led astray and brought back idolatry. When God sent the prophet Zechariah to warn Joash, Joash killed him in the Temple. God removed his hand of protection over Judah, allowing invaders to pillage the land. Joash failed to study God's Law for himself, relying instead on a mentor. Joash's heart for God was motivated by a desire to please another man. He went through the motions of godliness when his mentor was watching. 1 Timothy 4:6-16 – Paul mentored Timothy. Mentorship is good, but cannot replace a personal relationship with God. Do you go to church out of love for God, or are you going to make somebody else happy? Do you study the Bible, or take your pastor's word for it? Do you have your own prayer life, or do you rely on the mentorship of someone who does? The post Forgotten Kings: Joash first appeared on Living Hope.

What truly brings glory to God?In this message, To God Be The Glory, Guest Speaker, Bill Caldwell walks us through Scripture to answer a simple but life-shaping question: What will glorify God?From Jesus' call to be the light of the world (Matthew 5), to the healing of the paralytic (Matthew 9), to abiding in Christ (John 15), we see that glorifying God is not about drawing attention to ourselves, but rather it is about reflecting who He is, what He is like, and what He has done.We glorify God:• When our good works point people to the Father• When we abide in Christ and bear much fruit• When we live selflessly in unity with other believers• When we honor God with our bodies• When we endure suffering faithfully for His nameTo glorify God means to magnify Him, to acknowledge His being, His attributes, and His acts.Every decision, every relationship, every trial presents the same question:What would glorify God?When we live with that focus, our lives become a testimony that leads others to praise Him.Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

4th session of the Living Hope, 1 Peter, Bible Study  Led by Linda Boyette  Scripture 1 Peter 2:9

King Jehoshaphat was a spiritual leader who compromised his allegiances with the world, causing destruction and peril. Nevertheless, Jehoshaphat learned his lesson, and the next time he faced an enemy, he sought Yahweh and trusted in God's deliverance, rather than his own strength. 2 Chronicles 17:1-11 Jehoshaphat walked in the ways of his father David and led a spiritual renewal in Judah, sending out teachers to instruct the people in God's law, resulting in God's favor and peace with the surrounding nations. 2 Chronicles 18:1-27 Jehoshaphat does not listen to the prophet Micaiah but relies on his political alliance with Ahab and goes into battle at Ramoth-Gilead anyway. Despite a warning from the prophet Micaiah, Jehoshaphat maintains an “unholy alliance” with King Ahab of Israel and enters a disastrous battle at Ramoth-Gilead, nearly losing his life. 2 Chronicles 19:1-3 Returning home, Jehoshaphat is sternly rebuked by Jehu the Seer for aiding the wicked Ahab. However, God acknowledges Jehoshaphat's sincere heart and his successful efforts to remove pagan idols from the land and lead the nation in obedience and worship. 2 Chronicles 20:1-21 Facing a massive coalition of enemies, Jehoshaphat leads Judah in fasting and prayer about what to do. The choir is positioned before the army to sing praises, trusting God's promise that the battle belongs to Him, not them.The post Forgotten Kings: Jehoshaphat first appeared on Living Hope.

"Living Hope" - 1 Peter 1:3-12 - 2/1/26 (Jason Swain) by TwoRiversChurch FoCo

Christ’s words are always true, and His promises are never broken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever received a note of encouragement right in the midst of great suffering? A well spoken word at just the right time can go a long way. And that's what we find in the epistle of First Peter. It was written to Christians who were unjustly persecuted, and encountering fiery trials. We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God's encouragement and instruction for the difficult seasons of life. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall speaks of a living hope. It belongs to you if you're a believer in Christ, and it cannot be taken away. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

3rd Session of the Living Hope, 1 Peter, Bible Study  Teacher: Linda Boyette 

This message begins with the story of King Asa (2 Chronicles 14–16; 1 Kings 15:9–24), a king who started well by seeking the Lord, tearing down idols, and leading Judah back to God. When faced with overwhelming opposition, Asa cried out to the Lord in humble dependence, and God delivered him (2 Chronicles 14:11). Yet later in life, Asa relied on political alliances instead of prayer and rejected God's correction, showing how easily trust can drift over time (2 Chronicles 16:7–9). Old Testament narratives are meant to shape our relationship with God. These stories are not merely lists of rules, but living examples meant to teach us how to walk with God relationally, learning from faithfulness and failure alike (1 Corinthians 10:11). This story speaks of revival, both biblically and historically. True revival begins when God's people return to Him through prayer, preaching, repentance, and obedient action (2 Chronicles 15:1–7; Acts 2:37–42). Revival is not emotional hype, but a renewed submission to God that produces lasting fruit. We are also called to stand in the gap for truth, rejecting pagan or unbiblical practices that quietly enter our thinking and living (Romans 12:1–2). Our struggle is not against people, but against spiritual forces, as we bear witness to God in our families, workplaces, and communities (Ephesians 6:12). Finally, the life of Asa reminds us that finishing well matters. Faith must be sustained over a lifetime, not just trusting God at the beginning (Hebrews 3:14).The post Forgotten Kings: Asa first appeared on Living Hope.

"This is a recorded rebroadcast of our earlier live worship service from March 30, 2025." In today's sermon on "Embracing Living Hope," we are reminded that our future is bright through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which offers us a transformative hope that transcends our current struggles. Embracing this living hope empowers us to boldly live out our faith, love others, and share the good news of salvation, reflecting the light of Christ in a world in need. 1 Peter 1:3-5 (CSB): "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you."

Giving page: https://www.livinghopeva.com/giveIn this message from our “Every Day Opportunities” sermon series, Pastor Bill reminds us that every day is an opportunity to shine the light of Jesus in a dark world. Drawing from John 1, Matthew 5, and powerful biblical moments like Moses on Mount Sinai and Saul's encounter with Christ, this sermon reveals how Jesus is the true Light who overcomes darkness—and how He calls His people to carry that light into the world.In a time filled with bad news, fear, and uncertainty, we are reminded that the Gospel is good news, and that light always wins over darkness. When we spend time with God, His presence naturally shines through our lives—not through performance, but through proximity to Christ.This message encourages believers to live visibly, faithfully, and intentionally, reflecting the hope, truth, and love of Jesus wherever they go.Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

Pastor Michael preaches from 1 Peter 1:3-5.

Send us a textA stormy night sets the scene for a fierce challenge: what if your church sounds brave, looks busy, and still lets Goliath preach twice a day? We open 1 Samuel 17 and watch fear masquerade as momentum—trenches dug, shouts raised, yet hearts dismayed. The contrast is stark. Saul starts strong and ends tormented, while David arrives under the anointing and sees the same battlefield through a different lens. He remembers lions and bears, refuses fleshly armor, and answers a giant by the name of the Lord of hosts.We walk through the spiritual mechanics of how cycles form: forgotten testimonies, leadership drift, and the slow normalization of 90 percent victory. Then we name the way out. Remember what God has done—in Scripture, in this house, in your life—and let that living memory become your smooth stone. We talk about the Word of God as the only offensive weapon worth drawing, why borrowed strategies don't fit, and how the Spirit inside you stirs a holy “have to” that moves you from trench to field. This isn't about noise; it's about authority. The same Spirit who raised Jesus dwells in you, and the battle still belongs to the Lord.If you're tired of almost-revival, this is your turning. Close the doors you've left open. Speak what God has placed in your heart. Testify so the assembly knows and the world sees that God saves without sword and spear. Let's walk this path together, as a unified body across cities and house gatherings, refusing partial wins and embracing a complete, Spirit-led victory.

I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before.

Jehu was God's weapon of judgment upon Ahab and Jezebel. He carried out his mission with intensity and zeal. Although God has not called the church to violence, we should, nevertheless, imitate Jehu's zeal in our mission to love. 1 Kings 16:30-33 Ahab did more to provoke God to anger than all the kings of Israel who came before him. He introduced and sponsored the worship of Canaanite gods, including Baal and Asherah. His wife, Jezebel of Sidon, was a religious zealot who relentlessly persecuted the prophets of Yahweh, including Elijah (1 Kgs. 19:2). 1 Kings 21:5-7 When righteous Naboth refused to sell his vineyard to Ahab, Jezebel took matters into her own hands. After she had Naboth executed, Ahab took possession of his neighbor's plot. 1 Kings 19:15-17; 21:19-29 God ordained that Jehu become king instead of Ahab. This Jehu would be God's weapon of vengeance upon Ahab's house. 2 Kings 9:4-13 After a young prophet anointed the military commander, Jehu, king, his officers immediately supported his bid for the throne. 2 Kings 9:30-31 Jehu first confronted and the reigning king Joram, Ahab's son. Then he came for Jezebel. Next, he arranged for the death of all Ahab's seventy sons. 2 Kings 10:18-19 Last of all, Jehu killed as many worshipers of Baal as he could and turned the temple into a latrine. John 3:16-17 Jesus is the true and better Jehu. However, God did not send him to condemn the world, but to save it. Revelation 19:11-16 Nevertheless, when Jesus comes again, he will come in judgment, making Jehu's zeal look small in comparison.

Big Idea: Hope fuels present endurance and joy. Problem: Joy and strength are lost when hope is tied to circumstances. Solution: Hope in Christ's promised return offers us joy and strength through all trials. Vision: Become people who endure suffering with visible joy because our lives are anchored to the future Christ has promised. Steps To Change: Anchor your hope in Christ's return; endure suffering with that hope; and find joy not in your circumstances, but in Christ and the future joy He has promised. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9 Links: Website: https://thegrovechurch.co Instagram: https://instagram.com/thegrovechurchofficial Facebook: https://facebook.com/thegrovechurchofficial Sermon Audio: https://soundcloud.com/thegrovechurchofficial Podcast: https://tr.ee/c0BcdkUV3C Support Our Ministry: https://grovechurch.churchcenter.com/giving If this video was helpful to you, please like, comment, and subscribe — and share it with someone who needs hope today.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church! This week, Pastor Matt Brummett brings the word! Every day, we face a decision—will we fight for the life God has called us to, or slowly drift away without realizing it?In this message, Fight or Flight: The Battle for Your Headspace, we explore how the enemy often works subtly, not through dramatic attacks, but through distraction, drift, doubt, and isolation. Using the helmsman analogy, Scripture reminds us that being even one degree off course over time can lead us far from where God intends us to be.Through biblical examples, real-life stories, and practical application, this sermon challenges casual believers, leaders, and prayer warriors alike to examine their spiritual “heading” and reclaim intentional focus on Christ.From Hebrews' warning against drifting, to James' call for honest confession, we are reminded that victory begins in the mind—and course correction begins with humility, prayer, and community.This message calls us to drop the masks, release the grip on comfort and reputation, and fix our eyes once again on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.Every day is an opportunity.Will you fight—or will you flee?Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

1 Peter Bible Study 1st ep  Scripture: 1 Peter  Teacher: Linda Boyette  Intro to 1 Peter. 

Deuteronomy 17 God anticipated that Israel would ask for a king, and He did not forbid it. Instead, He gave specific instructions for those He would appoint. The most important requirement was that the king write a personal copy of the Law and use it as a guide for his life and rule. God also placed specific limitations on the king: he was not to multiply wives, horses, chariots, or silver and gold. These restrictions were intended to keep the king dependent on God rather than on worldly power or wealth. Ultimately, God was to remain Israel's true King, and any human ruler was to serve in partnership with Him, not as a replacement. 1 Samuel 8:5-7 Israel says: “Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” – wrong motive. 1 Kings 10:22-24 The first three kings; Saul, David, and Solomon all reigned for 40 years. Saul failed to remain faithful, David was the best having God central, Solomon starts good ended terrible. v.23 So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 1 Kings 11:1-13 Solomon worshiped false gods influenced by his pagan wives. God told him He would split the kingdom. 1 Kings 12:1-33 Rehoboam was king over Judah and Benjamin and Jeroboam over the 10 northern tribes. Proverbs 16:18; 11:2; 29:23 Pride comes before a fall. Proverbs 11:14; 12:15; 15:22; 24:6 Wise counsel. Rev. Vince uses the Bible version NASB-95The post Forgotten Kings: Rehoboam first appeared on Living Hope.

In this episode of Anchored Conversations, Marian Jordan Ellis sits down with women's ministry leader and Bible teacher Tasha Calvert to talk about what it really means to live a life anchored to Jesus—especially in a culture that often celebrates the opposite of holiness.Peter's message to the early church is strikingly timely: believers are “elect exiles” living under pressure, misunderstood, and sometimes mocked—yet called to stand out with lives so compelling that others “see your good deeds and glorify God.” (1 Peter 2)Tasha unpacks holiness with fresh clarity—not as a rigid checklist or religious performance, but as a “sacred otherness that originates from God, is extended to us through His Spirit, manifested in our character, and strengthened in Christian community.”Together, Marian and Tasha talk about:--- What “Be holy, because I am holy” meant to Peter's original audience—and what it means for us now (1 Peter 1)----Why holiness is rooted in the Holy One, not white-knuckled behavior change--- How to live distinctively without becoming defensive, reactive, or losing credibility online--- The role of Scripture, prayer, and community in staying anchored--- The “upside-down economy of God”: how suffering refines faith and clarifies what matters (1 Peter 1)---Why Peter keeps pulling our eyes toward an eternal perspective and an inheritance that can't be stolenIf you've ever felt torn between blending in and standing out—or you're weary from the cultural noise—this conversation will steady your soul and call you back to the Living Hope found in Jesus.➡️ Learn more about Marian's Bible study: Anchored: The Life and Letters of the Apostle Peter (7-week study) https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/anchored-bible-study-book-with-video-access-P005850823
