Different Home

In this world, you will face struggles, opposition and trials. And there’s a reason for that — this current world is not your ultimate home. That’s the message that Peter wrote to his audience who were in the midst of persecution from their society. And that same message still resonates to the church of Jesus today in a time such as ours. This series will show us how God’s people should lead distinctive lifestyles as temporary residents in a foreign land. When the culture mocks, criticizes, and scorns, 1 Peter encourages us not retaliate or compromise but to instead look beyond our current circumstances and focus on the living hope we have in Jesus. So take heart — we’re meant to be different.
