Hope Beyond Dissatisfaction: A Formula That Brings Relief
In 1 Peter 5:5–7, the bold apostle demonstrated that true satisfaction is found only in serving Christ. Find fulfilment in Christ as Pastor Chuck Swindoll advises you to pursue eternal significance and be truly well-off in God’s eyes.
Hope Beyond the Battle: Standing Nose-to-Nose with the Adversary
The Apostle Peter called Satan the “enemy,” and in 1 Peter 5:8–11, he explained how this opponent works in crafty ways to unravel the goodness of God’s plan for His creation. Pastor Chuck Swindoll counsels Christians to stand their ground.

Our confidence is in Christ, not ourselves. He is the One who calms our fears and gives us the courage we need in times of suffering.

These passages of Scripture suggest several ingredients that must be present if hope is to remain a vital part of a church’s life.
The "D" Word
Discipline is the “D” word that nobody likes but everybody admires. It’s the stuff that happens when nobody is looking or applauding. It’s the hard work of what goes on behind the scenes and results in excellence.
The Enemy is Hard at Work
The enemy is hard at work and he’s alive and well in the Church, working hard to destroy the lives of Christians—particularly those in leadership.
