What does it look like to invest your life in the Kingdom of God? In his final sermon as Lead Pastor of Harvest Church, Steve Henry reflects on 1 Peter 1:3–9 and the life of Peter—a regular man, imperfect and sometimes reckless, whom God called, changed, and used for His purposes. Peter’s story reminds us that God gives ordinary people a purpose, meets us in our failures, and works through those who trust Him. Peter’s words point us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even through trials and suffering, our faith is being refined, our salvation is secure, and our future inheritance is kept by God. Because of who Jesus is and what He has done, our lives are worth investing in His Kingdom. Jesus is worthy of a life invested in His Kingdom: 1. We are regular people with God-given purpose. 2. We are far from perfect, but we repent and keep going. 3. We don’t seem like people God can use, but we trust God to work through us anyway. The hope of the gospel is that Jesus changes lives. Through His death and resurrection, He offers forgiveness, new life, and a living hope to all who trust in Him. Though we have not seen Him, we can love Him, believe in Him, and rejoice in the salvation He provides.
