Begin With Praise To God - 1 Peter 1:3-7 - January 22, 2023

In a letter designed to encourage believers toward faithfulness to Christ as they experience the tension of living in this world, Peter begins with praise to God. As he praises God for his great mercy toward us, he is reminding us of the basis of our hope. His aim is to produce joy. Joy in God is a power that sustains us when our faith is tested. Today and everyday, let us begin with praise to God.

Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
