psalm 34

Hope for Exiles - Week 5 (including a post-sermon reflection of an original song written by Seth Price exploring verses from 1 Peter 3:8-22 and Psalm 34)
Scripture - 1 Peter 3:8-22
Preacher - Brandon Hurlbert

"Whenever anyone asks you to speak of your hope, be ready to defend it." (1 Peter 3:15). These days, when hope is in short supply, we need to stay in that space where a heart comes close to cracking; that is where God will meet us. Our sermon series on the first letter bearing Peter's name continues, grounding us in God's love.

Pastor Ben Masters preached "Hope for Hearts Close to Cracking" on May 10, 2020, the fifth Sunday in the Easter Season, at Hector Presbyterian Church.

Thanks to Rev. Susan Lynch for composing and sharing the song "Another World Is Not Only Possible." Words: Arundhati Roy, War Talk, 2003. Music: Susan P. Lynch, 2019.

Scripture readings: Psalm 34 & 1 Peter 3:8-22.

We all face situations and circumstances in life that cause pain, discouragement, and even depression.  Such life events test us like nothing else can raising questions about God - is He real, does He care, does He hear my prayers, and others like these.  This message takes a look at such situations and contains encouragement and advice when we find ourselves facing such events.  Listen in and be encouraged as well as challenged to taste and see that God is truly good.
