EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian reads through a sweeping portion of 1 Peter, from the opening blessing all the way into chapter 4, letting the full arc of Peter's argument land together. The throughline is clear: because Christ suffered and conquered darkness through the cross and resurrection, his people are now called to arm themselves with that same attitude. Livi...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Seth works through 1 Peter 3:18-22 and keeps Peter's overarching argument in focus rather than getting lost in the strange details of the text. The central claim is this: Christ's suffering was the total, tactical defeat of sin, evil, and every power of darkness, a victory cosmic in scope that reclaims not just individuals but an entire peop...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory opens with a Father's Day moment: watching his four-year-old daughter mimic his mannerisms and realize people are always noticing more than we think. That same awareness, he connects directly to the text. Working through 1 Peter 3:8-16, he walks through three things the world should see and experience when it comes in contact with the c...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM  Peoria's lead Pastor Jon opens with a simple but convicting reality: most people who don't know Jesus will never walk into a church, but they will watch how Christians respond under pressure. Working through 1 Peter 2 and into chapter 3, he covers three categories of everyday witness: public life, work life, and home life. In each one, Peter calls be...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brett opens with the disorientation that comes at every stage of life, from adolescence to midlife to old age, and names the deeper question underneath all of it: who am I and where do I belong? He traces a grand biblical story from creation through Abraham, Moses, and the prophets, showing that Israel was always called to be a kingdom of pr...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian opens by challenging the idea that the only difference between a believer and an unbeliever is forgiveness. While forgiveness is real and glorious, Peter wants the church to understand something bigger: through the resurrection and the Spirit, followers of Jesus are a new humanity entirely. Born again through the living and enduring Wo...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory opens 1 Peter 1 with a call for exiles to live differently because of what Christ has done for them. He frames the message around a culture obsessed with happiness, describing how many people treat life like a giant Easter egg hunt, chasing career, pleasure, and approval, only to find it empty. But Peter points to a fuller life found in...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian opens 1 Peter's roadmap for living as exiles in a resistant world. Following Jesus creates real friction, new convictions, and relational pressure, and that tension is not a sign something is wrong. Using Peter's own story of cowardice turned courage through the resurrection, Brian challenges the church not to shrink back into a quiet,...

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory introduced Exiles , a journey through 1 Peter unpacking what it means to follow Jesus as outsiders in a Babylonian world. As God's elect, we are chosen for His mission. As Exiles, we are called to faithfully engage the world, not retreat from it, as living previews of His kingdom.  Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at...

Rules of Engagement: A Journey Through 1 Corinthians What does it look like to be the church in a world that doesn't always understand—or welcome—what we're about? That's the question the Apostle Paul tackled head-on in his letter to the church in Corinth, and it's the question we're wrestling with together this series. Paul planted a church in one of the most diverse, culturally complex cities in...
