1 Peter was written to teach us how to remain faithful and content in the midst of the heavy trials of our mortal life on earth, this "time of your sojourn."

This series of messages was part of an exposition of the book of 1 Peter by Dave Rich, a pastor at Kootenai Community Church.

God's will for every believer is their sanctification. That is the purpose of this life, with all of its trials and temptations. God has given us His word as a means of sanctification, but to gain from it, we must first put away our sins. Putting away sin and desiring God's word is impossible apart from the regenerating, converting work of the gosp…

Christians address God rightly as their Father, but that doesn’t mean that the impartial judge of all mankind will not judge the works of His children. We are to live in fear of shame or loss at the judgment seat of Christ. We are to fear the loving discipline of God. We are to fear grieving the God of our salvation. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:17. …

Everyone obeys someone. We either obey the god of this age or the sovereign God of the universe. Christians are characterized as “children of obedience” and the child of God must and will reflect the character of the Holy One who called him, living in obedience to the will of God as revealed in His word. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:14-16. ★ Support …

The prophets, apostles, angels, and even the Holy Spirit Himself have as the focus of their interest and attention the gospel of our salvation.

If the gospel is the focus of God, angels, and the…

Peter marvels at the love and faith of His readers in a Savior they have never seen and do not see now. What makes our obedient love and absolute trust in Christ so commendable to Peter? It’s the fact that the object of our love and faith, the unseen Savior, does not communicate with us outside of His word. An exposition of 1 Peter 1:8. ★ Support t…
