Exposition of 1 Peter 1:3-9

Guest preacher and missionary to the Czech Republic, Adam Cook, looks at the introductory verses of the epistle of 1 Peter. In these few verses, Peter talks about the entire Christian life - from the moment of salvation to eternity future. But the hope that we have in that time does not exempt us from trials and pain. How do we face those times-- What is the source of our hope and where is it leading us-- As we walk through this life, we are strangers in a strange land, and these verses help us know how to live as representatives of God.
