A Settled Hope for Unsettled Exiles 1 Peter 1:1-12

 "In this message, We begin our 11 week sermon series in 1st Peter.  This series will take us up to Advent.  1st Peter, written by the Apostle Peter, opens with a greeting and was written to a whole group of places and people.  One commentator says this is the new Diaspora, scattered in the world, but chosen by the Father, sanctified by the Spirit and cleansed by the sprinkling of Christ’s blood.  A good descriptor of God’s work in us as well.  We are elect exiles, even here, even now, and Peter has a lot to inform us about how then should we live.  Living as Exiles, a study and lesson we all need to hear."
