IRREPRESSIBLE HOPE – A Sermon Series
We are currently in a series of sermons in 1 Peter.  The Apostle Peter weaves a theme of hope through his encouraging first letter, teaching us the content of a “living hope” that is solidly rooted in the Resurrection.  In fact, “living filled with hope” opens the door to applying the power of the Risen Christ in our every day lives.  Upcoming sermons are:

Apr. 20   “Hope that Purifies”                 1 Peter 1:13-2:3
Apr. 27   The Father’s Ranch Ministry
May 4     “Built Together”                       1 Peter 2:4-12
May 11   [Pentecost]
May 18   “Respectful Living”                  1 Peter 2:13-25
May 25   “Marriage in Purity and Reverence”
