Text: 1 Peter 2:11-3:7

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

The Christians to whom Peter wrote in 1 Peter feel alone, scared, and as if they no longer belong in their own country. Maybe you have felt similarly at times. Peter reminds them and us that our hope is not found in fitting into the culture around us, but in Jesus who is creating us to be a new kind of chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. This week, Peter urges us to consider in all our relationships, from the government to work and school to family members, if our behavior will lead them to glorify Jesus or turn away.
