S10E52: Casting Your Cares (A Living Hope pt. 6)

Sermon #553

Often when we are going through adversity it is difficult to see beyond our current circumstances.  Certainly for the Christians in Asia Minor to whom Peter wrote this epistle had a hard time keeping their eyes on Christ as they suffered in his name.  But Peter reminds them and us as well that God is not an uncaring and disconnected God.  He intimately cares about the things that concern us.  Jesus said as much in the Sermon on the Mount.  And so we can look beyond our present situation into eternity and be reminded that ours is a living hope because we have faith in a living Christ.
