EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory closes out the Exiles series with 1 Peter 5:8-11, naming one of the enemy's most effective tactics: staying unseen. He covers three strategies the enemy uses against the church: lies that quietly lead people away from God, isolation that makes those lies harder to resist, and suffering that erodes trust in God's character. The antidote to each one is the same: stay in Scripture, stay rooted in community, and take shelter in the God of all grace who promises to restore and strengthen his people to the end. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God’s kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Standing Firm1 Peter 5:8-14Cory Kasperson | Next Gen Pastor7.26.2026

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Josué works through 1 Peter 5 and frames the whole message around a countercultural reminder: this is not our final home. From that foundation he walks through three calls. First, a call for pastors and elders to care for the flock as servants, not owners, with joy and without seeking power or recognition. Second, a call for the entire community to clothe themselves in humility toward one another, intentionally and daily. Third, a call to trust God completely by releasing every burden, from the smallest to the largest, into the hands of a faithful creator who cares.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory opens with a confession: this passage made him more anxious to preach than almost any other, because he simply doesn't want to suffer. Working through 1 Peter 4:12-19, he walks through Peter's call to not be surprised when faithfulness costs something. Suffering, Peter says, is a test that exposes what the heart is actually trusting. Cory covers three reasons to rejoice in it: it deepens intimacy with Christ, it will give way to overflowing joy, and it means the favor of God is resting on you.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian reads through a sweeping portion of 1 Peter, from the opening blessing all the way into chapter 4, letting the full arc of Peter's argument land together. The throughline is clear: because Christ suffered and conquered darkness through the cross and resurrection, his people are now called to arm themselves with that same attitude. Living in the light means pursuing holiness, loving community deeply, controlling sinful desires, and being ready to give a reason for the hope that doesn't waver even under pressure.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Seth works through 1 Peter 3:18-22 and keeps Peter's overarching argument in focus rather than getting lost in the strange details of the text. The central claim is this: Christ's suffering was the total, tactical defeat of sin, evil, and every power of darkness, a victory cosmic in scope that reclaims not just individuals but an entire people and ultimately all of creation. Baptism is the believer's public declaration of allegiance to that risen King, and daily life is where that allegiance is either confirmed or compromised. The powers of this world rarely ask us to reject Jesus outright, but they do invite us into a rival gospel that trades sacrifice for comfort and mission for convenience.Seth closes with a personal challenge: the church follows a scapegoat savior, which means stepping into the brokenness of the world by choice, bearing its burdens, and in doing so, imaging God to a watching world.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Cory opens with a Father's Day moment: watching his four-year-old daughter mimic his mannerisms and realize people are always noticing more than we think. That same awareness, he connects directly to the text. Working through 1 Peter 3:8-16, he walks through three things the world should see and experience when it comes in contact with the church. First, Christ's character. Peter starts not with the world but with community, because pressure from the outside almost always gets taken out on the people closest to us. How the church treats one another, especially in conflict and hurt, is itself a witness. Second, Christ's peace. Cory draws a distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, calling believers to control their tongues and actively pursue reconciliation, grounded in the reality that God first pursued peace with us. Third, Christ's hope. When Christians genuinely fear God more than people, they become free, and that freedom becomes magnetic. A hope-filled life creates curiosity, and Peter says to be ready to explain it.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.
