Exiles Living in Hope: 1 & 2 Peter: Pay Attention

Identity is an ever-present buzzword. This should especially be true for Christians. We are chosen, loved, forgiven, and

We are pilgrims on a journey, telling others along the way about the wonderful things God has done in calling us out of darkness and into his light. And just like Peter’s personality, these two letters that share his name are bold invitations to cling to a living hope in the face of any suffering that may come our way.
