Quotes from Called to Hope & Holiness in Christ:

From Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby:

Hope is not what we have, it’s what God has for us…
Peter goes back and echoes Leviticus. He calls us to holiness to imitate God in God’s self-sacrificial movement towards us in Jesus Christ…
Why 1 Peter, Lambeth 1 Peter, at this time? Because we need each other. We aren’t perfect but we are called to walk together, to witness together, and to listen together in Christ…
The death and resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the living hope. There’s no other means of getting that hope. It is the way in which we are able to stand firm against all that brings death in individual lives, in communities, in the world.
Our hope is living and alive, not stagnant and stale.

Come and listen to Archbishop of Canterbury Welby leading next week’s Bible text with global contextual reflections.

Week 2: A Holy People following Christ, July 19, 1 Peter 2:1-25.

The Week 2 Bible study reflects on Living Stones, Honorable Conduct, and Suffering for Doing What is Right.
