Listen to Sunday's sermon by Pastor Darrel Schiel:
Chosen By God - 1 Peter 1:1-2 1 Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:
May grace and peace be multiplied to you. 1
1 The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (1 Pe 1:1–2). (2016). Crossway Bibles.
Main Idea:
Because of the grace of divine election Christians (we) are equipped to stand firm as God’s people.
1. Who we are. (vs.1)
2. How we became who we are. (vs.2)
Application Questions:
1. Are you more naturally a “compromiser” or a “bemoaner”? How might you need to challenge yourself?
2. Did the description of Christians as “elect exiles” comfort you, discomfort you, or both? How?
3. What particularly thrilled you as you considered how the triune God has saved you?
