About Peter Koh
In a September 2023 midweek devotion titled "Looking to God for Hope," Rev. Peter Koh, who also serves as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Hope Bancorp, delivered a sermon on Psalm 25. He described feeling "helpless and hopeless" in a difficult situation and said that the psalmist David also experienced such feelings. Koh stated that David resolved his situation by beginning "a God‑honoring prayer" and by recognizing God's attributes, which he described as becoming "God‑centered" and gaining "great confidence." Koh advised that "whenever we feel helpless or hopeless," people should "return our eyes towards God and honor him for who he is" and "recognize that he's the source of our help." He encouraged listeners to "turn our eyes to God in prayer, honor him, align ourselves with him and have this God‑sized confidence that God will deliver us." The devotion included readings from Psalm 25, with Koh quoting verses such as "In you, Lord, I trust my God; I put my trust in you" and "May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you."
