Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 06 - Hope and Holiness

Jesus at 2AM - A Humorous, Intelligent Look at the Bible, Church History & the Life of Faith

Having established the content of Christian hope - the present assurance of God's ultimate salvation (see ep. 292) - we turn now to the Christian obligation to be instruments of hope to others. Amidst suffering, even suffering inflicted upon us, as followers of Jesus we are called to embody hope, to reveal the way to love and peace and rest.

Our means for accomplishing this? In a word: holiness - being distinctly Christian, distinctly loving.

The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:

• 1 Peter 1:1-16 (NRSV)

It was preached on April 19, 2020 (Easter) at Canvas Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA). If you'd like to see the whole worship service, you can find it here. Or subscribe to the Canvas Vimeo page for our video archive or to see future worship services!
