The Exiled Elect: Message Seven

As followers of Christ, we are called to live differently—to stand firm in faith even when the world pushes us to the margins. In 1 Peter 3:8-12, the apostle Peter urges believers to embrace unity, humility, and compassion, resisting the urge to retaliate against mistreatment and instead choosing to bless others. This passage challenges us to reflect on what it means to belong to the family of God and to behave in a Christlike manner, even in the face of opposition. As we explore this message today, let us consider how we can thrive in a world that often misunderstands us, remaining faithful to our calling as God’s chosen people.
