1 Peter
Peter was a fisherman - got to do my first deep sea fishing trip while on vacation in Destin, Florida
Simon was given the name Peter which means “rock”.
Peter sends letter to Christians who were scattered out - the Diaspora - who were being persecuted for their faith in Jesus
Do we have trouble relating to our current world?
Peter calls these followers of Jesus to not be surprised about the persecution that they faced, but to have a courageous response when suffering because of Jesus
Peter calls these “aliens” - those who were not part of the main sinful culture of the day to continue to follow Jesus even in the face of persecution
The act of God raising Jesus from the dead united Jews and Gentiles - they began to follow Jesus
The act of God raising Jesus from the dead united Jews and Gentiles - they began to follow Jesus
This act of God is the basis for us being born into a “living hope” that has an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading”
Our salvation is the foundation of our hope for NOW - while we will go through trials
Our salvation is the foundation of our hope for NOW - while we will go through trials
in THIS (our salvation) you REJOICE
even if you have been GRIEVED by trials -

TRIALS
something that tests you or entices you
something that builds character
How do we respond when we face trials that cause us grief?
Do we have a God-honoring response or do we focus completely internally?
Types of trials
Relational
Job
Death
Self-value, our purpose
being treated unfairly
persecution
What is the purpose of these trials?
We have an opportunity to demonstrate, to practice, to strengthen our faith as we face these trials
- our suffering has a purpose
We are given an opportunity to choose: will I serve God and allow God to use this trial for God or will I go the other way
our trials are not because God is punishing us or because we did something bad.
The purpose of these trials is so that the genuineness of our faith is STRENGTHENED
Are we really persecuted in the United States as believers?
For the most part, no
How do we live out the living hope of our salvation?
Preparing your minds for action
Literally - Gird yourselves for action, therefore, in your mind
Being sober-minded
be well-balanced, self-controlled
What do we allow to “get our goat”?
What takes your from a place where you are well-balanced, self-controlled?
Kids
Political conversations
Money/bills
Co-workers
Family members
SET YOUR HOPE FULL ON THE GRACE THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
We are to set our ULTIMATE HOPE on the grace that will be brought to us
the FOUNDATION of our HOPE is our salvation and we live it out by preparing our minds and being sober-minded
Peter continues,
As obedient children....do not be conformed to the passions…but as he who called you is holy
Jesus is holy - set apart, dedicated to the service of God so we should be holy
This comes from Leviticus
Like Paul in
How does Peter mention to be holy -
Submission to authority - in this political environment....wow!
1 Peter 3:8-22
Why did Jesus come?
Vs 21 - so that your faith and hope are in God
We follow Jesus
We love Jesus
He is our example
His love, sacrifice, kindness, authenticity, balance, prayer
