Living Hope for Lasting Praise | 1 Peter 1:3-5 | Pastor Ben Nistor | July 13, 2025
In today's sermon, Pastor Ben Nistor preaches from 1 Peter 1:1-9. As we dive into 1 Peter 1:3–5, we are reminded that God, in His great mercy, has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s rooted in the unshakable truth of Christ’s victory over death and the eternal inheritance that awaits every believer. Even amidst suffering, trials, and persecution, followers of Jesus can rejoice knowing that their faith—refined by fire—is more precious than gold and will result in praise, glory, and honor when Christ is revealed. Our inheritance is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven by God’s power, and we are being guarded through faith until the final day of salvation. As believers, we can TAKE HEART! No matter the hardship, our hope in Christ is secure—both now and forever. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_160b892ae82543628ee82444934ea390.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_634a88fe38c1492cb0653afcfaf5f45c.pdf ________________________________________ 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/
