Easter 4: Living as Exiles

In 1 Peter 2:11–20, we’re called to live as "sojourners and exiles," shining as God’s people in a world that’s not our true home. This sermon unpacks how the Law guides us to live honorably, submit to authority, and endure unjust suffering, all while the Gospel empowers us with Christ’s transformative grace. By His wounds, we’re healed and freed to reflect His love through good deeds, not to earn salvation but as a response to His gift of faith. Let’s live boldly as witnesses to the hope we have in Jesus!
