February 25, 2024 - Mission amidst Enemies (1 Peter)

Peter calls God’s NT people ‘elect exiles’...even though most of God’s people remain in their home culture. In this, there’s a shift in the coming weeks as we think about this concept: Christians aren’t physically exiled from our homes today, but rather feel displaced in our homes.

Principle: God calls his NT people to counter cultural lives, displaying & declaring a better God than that of our culture… and (perhaps harder than doing so in a foreign land) we often do so in our own homes
