As followers of Jesus, we often feel ‘out of step’ with the world in which we live. This is not a new phenomenon. In fact, God’s people have always lived as outsiders, and should expect hostility because we have chosen to live under the Lordship of Christ. This is the message of the Biblical book of 1 Peter - and as applicable to cultural EXILES today as it was in the early church. Filled with hope, this series will encourage you about your identity in Christ, and show you how to live counter-culturally in a way that honors Christ and is winsome in its witness to him. We’ll also talk about the ironic benefits of the inevitable suffering that comes with following Jesus, how hardships grow us spiritually, and help us prepare for Jesus’ return. See you Sunday @ 10:30!
