This is part of a series on Benadictions. The following benediction was prepared by my friend “cool” Mike (we have several Mikes in our church). It is taken from 1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 1:8, Hebrews 6:19, 1 John 3:3
May God, who has caused you to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, cause you to rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory for the salvation of your souls. May the God of hope and His word be the sure and steadfast anchor of your souls and may your hope in Christ purify you as he is pure.
