First Peter Sermon Series

Peter's Prescription for Pilgrim's Progress (1 Peter 1:1-2:3)    Take me to 5 Day Sermon-Based Devotional



In this introduction to 1 Peter, we delve into the concept of being 'pilgrims' in this world. As believers, we're called to be resident aliens - citizens of heaven living on earth with a divine purpose. The apostle Peter, drawing from his personal experiences with Jesus, teaches us how to become pilgrims and how to behave as such. We learn that our pilgrim status is a result of the Trinity's work: elected by the Father, sanctified by the Spirit, and redeemed by the Son. This reminds us of the profound love and purpose God has for each of us, even before time began. As pilgrims, we're called to live lives of obedience and witness, shining God's light in a world that may not always understand or appreciate us. This message challenges us to embrace our identity as God's chosen people and to live with purpose, knowing we're kept secure by God's power, even in the face of trials.
