We often think of Peter as a bit of a goofball — bold, outspoken, and often the first to put his foot in his mouth. Yet when we open his first epistle, we find words filled with wisdom and depth that reveal just how much he grew in his walk with the Lord.
In this week’s message, we look at 1 Peter 1:8–9, where Peter writes to believers who have never seen Jesus face to face, yet still love Him deeply. He encourages them — and us — that even without seeing, our faith produces an inexpressible joy that culminates in the salvation of our souls.
Join us as Peter reminds us that growth in Christ leads to a deeper faith, greater joy, and a salvation that’s received through believing, not seeing.
