The Bible can be confusing. There are parts of it that don’t make sense or make us uncomfortable. How do we deal with those sections? This week, we learn a few pointers on how to deal with difficult and confusing passages in the Bible, and we put them to work in 1 Peter 4:1-11.

How should Christians relate to the larger society they live in? How should we relate to our government? What if that government doesn’t support Christian values? This week we look at how Peter welcomes us to adopt the ethic of an exile that God’s people have been practicing for thousands of years.

Peter writes to the early church that was needing to be encouraged and reminds them of the great opportunity that trials bring to show the world the difference Jesus makes in our lives.

Exiles - 1 Peter 1:1-2
July 4, 2021 • Terry Dueck
Peter writes to the early church that was struggling to encourage and remind them of the great opportunity that trials bring to show the world the difference Jesus makes in our lives. In the opening verses, Peter begins with their identity as God’s chosen people and calls to their attention their uniqueness as “foreigners” or “strangers” in the land. What does it look like for the church in MB to live as “strangers in the land” in 2021? Join us as we explore this theme together.
