To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into. Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Peter shows us the wonderful identity of those in Christ. No matter how today goes, or even your season goes: whether you perform well or you have a shocker, whether you win or lose, whether you play or you’re on the bench, how does God see you? Chosen. Loved.
As followers of Jesus, whether you and I realize it or not, we are on a pilgrimage heading to our eternal home to be reunited with our risen King. In this reading plan, we will explore the wisdom of 1 Peter that can help us faithfully navigate our way home, become more like Jesus on our journey, and do our part to advance His kingdom here on earth.
How do we as Christians navigate the changing tides of culture and society in a world that seems to be shifting beneath our feet? In this short devotional, we explore the concept of being "exiles" in this world. It reminds us that while we live here, our true citizenship lies elsewhere. We are part of a higher Kingdom, and this perspective should shape how we interact with the world around us.

This Life.Church Bible Plan is a study of 1 Peter to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Different. In this world, you’ll have struggles. You’ll face opposition. You’ll be challenged. And there’s a reason for that: this world is not your home. So answer hate with love, find joy in the midst of trials, and rely on a strength beyond yourself. You’re meant to be … different .
