May Jesus Christ be Praised

May grace and peace be multiplied to you!

1 Peter 1:1 (CSB)

The fellowship of believers is a command of our Lord and has a mighty impact on one another.

The fellowship of committed believers draws us into unity by the Spirit of God. Fellowship strengthens believers through corporate worship, joy, prayer, and remembering the work of our Savior. Fellowship is a testimony of the Gospel!

Remember to pray for one another as you prepare for worship this Sunday. Pray that the Spirit helps you avoid distractions and temptations that could keep you and your family from the Church.

Also, remember to pray for your pastor and others who will attend.

Pray against the enemy present in the Church. (Ephesians 6:12).

But don’t be filled with despair. Be filled with the knowledge that Jesus is our living Hope.

Fellowship is a Reminder of our Living Hope!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Because of his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. 

You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 

You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials 

the proven character of your faith—more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire—

may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1:3-10 (CSB)

Share the Gospel of our Living Hope in your world!
