Hope in Hardship


In the wonderful hymn of praise that we find in 1 Peter 1:3-9 we discover the source of joy that never fades away regardless of what our circumstances may be. That joy is rooted in the inheritance that is kept safe in heaven for us; and the fact that we are kept safe the limitless power of God until the time when we receive that inheritance from Him. In this message we remind ourselves of the assurance we have of God's grace that we access through faith; and we discover the value of trials which cause our faith to be refined and displayed to God's increasing glory; our benefit and the blessing of those our lives touch.
