1 Peter 3:1-12

Chapter 3 begins with a passage that, at first glance, appears offensive to the culture in which we live today. It is also a passage that the church has abused for it's own end. What we need to ask is - what is the command, and how do we faithfully live it out today?

*We were experiencing technical difficulties this week, so there is some audio issues on this week's recording.*

1 Peter 2:18-25

How do we relate, as citizens of a heavenly kingdom, to the culture that we find ourselves traveling through as strangers? What we see in Christian households is a subtle rejection of the Greco-Roman order and a reshaping of what it means to be a part of society through the lense of allegiance to Jesus.

1 Peter 2:11-17

When we become God's people we find ourselves at odds with our culture. How are we to relate to the world now that our allegiance is to Jesus?

1 Peter 2:1-10

This week as we begin 1 Peter chapter 2 we see that a call to holiness is a call to Christian community.

1 Peter 1:13-25

The process of becoming holy is the process of being remade in the image of Christ. Holiness requires intentionality, holiness grows from grace, and holiness creates love.

1 Peter 1:1-12

Peter is writing to people who have been chosen or elect. They are set apart. In this letter, Peter is framing our existence as people of God as being in exile.
