New Authority Lines

June 23, 2024 • Jonathan Burgin • 1 Peter 2:13–25

We are to submit to authority, and live humble lives, “for the Lord’s sake.” This affects what we say about those in authority over us. It affects how we treat those in authority over us. In a politicized world, the only way we can do this is by looking to Christ, who humbled himself, and showed us what a life of submission looks like. What do we do when authority is bad? Jesus put his trust in the Father to judge justly.

Exiles With an Enemy

July 28, 2024 • Pete Lee • 1 Peter 5:8–14

Praying as an Exile

July 21, 2024 • Blake Hudspeth • 1 Peter 4:7–11

Suffering As An Exile

July 14, 2024 • Blake Hudspeth • 1 Peter 3:13–18

Following Jesus will result in hostility from outsiders. Peter starts this section with “Who would want to harm you for doing good?” The answer is, more and more people as the world grows darker. So he encourages us, when we suffer, we can remember that Christ also suffered. We must also remember that Christ is King and He has not lost control.
