Feeling like an outsider is a strange and uncomfortable thing. You can feel like an outsider anywhere, be it in church, at your job, with your family. In the book of 1 Peter, Peter refers to Christians as sojourners. We, as Christians, are ones who are on the outside looking in. We are in the world, but not of it.

1 Peter 4:1–6 begins a culmination of a theme that has been woven throughout the book on what it means to live as Christians and as sojourners, now specifically addressing the reality that Christians will face rejection in this world. Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on this passage, explaining that we are called to reject sin, showing how this rejection of sin leads to our rejection in the world, but how it is also tied with our final vindication in God in the age to come.

Writing of Psalm 127 Derek Kidner says, “One of the most telling features of this short poem is that it singles out three of our most universal preoccupations — building, security, raising a family — and makes us ask what they all amount to and to whom we owe them.” Rather than looking at the psalm according to these three common preoccupations, church elder Jamie Chesser proposes we look at it instead in two parts, in order to reveal something more about God’s providence. Listen as Jamie teaches on this passage, looking first at the warnings giving about our striving, when done apart from God, and then looking, in contrast, at God’s perfect provision.

Martin Luther once referred to a particular portion of 1 Peter 3 as “a wonderful text...and a more obscure passage perhaps than any other in the New Testament.” Listen as RUF campus minister Ethan Brown preaches on 1 Peter 3:18–22, helping us to grow in our understanding of this difficult passage and to experience more deeply the good news about Jesus. Pastor Ethan divides this text into three primary sections: The Good Word (18), The Ancient Word (19–20), and The Visible Word (21–22).

In 1 Peter 3, the apostle Peter moves from a focus on the inward lives of believers and the way believers interact within specific relationships, to an outward focus on how we as Christians should engage with our community and those around us. We are to be a righteous community, not because of anything we have done, but because of who we are. Listen as church elder Todd Doehring teaches on 1 Peter 3:8–17, showing in three points how to live in this righteous community: be good, do good, and suffer well.
