1 Peter 2:11-12 Serving God In A Hostile World
Beginning at 2:11, Peter will get real practical and specific about what it looks like to serve God in a hostile world. He goes into great detail describing how Christians are to live faithfully in the different spheres of life in this world. 1 Peter 2:11 through chapter 3 are tough lessons for us to hear. But these truths are essential because God alone has the authority to define how we are to serve Him in a hostile world. Because we haven’t been in 1 Peter for a few weeks, we will take some time and review what we have learned in this letter so far, and then look at a broad overview of what 2:11 through chapter 3 will look like in the coming weeks.

1 Peter 1:22-2:3 Living Faithfully As Exiles (part 3) Love One Another
We see Peter’s fourth command in 1:22-2:3, Love one another. Faithfulness to Christ, especially when the world is growing increasingly hostile to the gospel, is lived out in community. Peter shows us where this love for one another comes from, how it endures in our trials, and how our love for one another grows. Because this section builds upon everything that has come before, it would be helpful to re-read verses 1-21 before Sunday for we will certainly be referencing them.

1 Peter 1:6-12 Equipped To Endure
1 Peter 1:6-12 continues to build the foundation upon which believers must stand as they face the sufferings and trials of this world. Verses 1-12 together are essential to understand as we are "grieved by various trials" in this life. They give us the footholds we need when grieved by trials for His name.

1 Peter 1:1-5 Strangers In A Strange Land
Peter writes this epistle to churches in a vast area of Asia Minor. These Christians are going through trials and sufferings because of their faith in Christ. At least 15 times in 1 Peter’s five chapters, he references the trials and sufferings of these believers. This epistle is intended to instruct believers in how we follow Christ in the midst of a world that is growing darker and more hostile to Jesus. Yet, before Peter begins giving commands and instructions to these believers, he starts by reminding them of who they are. He reminds them of what God has done for them and he joins them in blessing God even in the middle of their trials.
