1 Pierre 1:12

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 .
