Hope in Holiness

Jun 28, 2026    Anthony Achée

What does it mean to follow Christ when you feel like you don't belong?


In this opening message of our 1 Peter: Living Hope in a Fallen World series, Pastor Anthony Achée introduces Peter's letter and its timeless message for Christians living in a culture that often opposes biblical truth. Written to believers scattered throughout the Roman Empire, 1 Peter reminds us that our identity is found in Christ—not in the world around us.


This overview explores the major themes that will shape our journey through the letter:

• Hopeful holiness begins with our identity in Christ.

• We are constructed on Christ, our Cornerstone.

• Hope transforms our relationships.

• We can suffer with the Savior's strength.

• We are shepherded by Christ with strength and humility.


No matter what challenges you face, your hope is secure because Jesus is alive. As God's people, we are called to stand firm, live holy lives, and reflect His grace in a world that desperately needs the gospel.


Main Truth: "Our hope in Christ empowers us to live holy lives, even when life is hard, so the world sees God's transforming grace."
