Whatever makes us feel disconnected, alone, apart from…whatever pain and struggle we go through…embrace where you are as part of God’s purposeful grace for you (Romans 8:28). Stand, stay in the moment, and receive the strength of God’s hand to support and favor you in this season. In these outsider seasons (no one else understands, no one else knows my pain, no one else is going through what I am having to go through), the Lord will do more to establish your faith and leverage your witness than just about another time in our life.

We need to learn how to be the church in the wild. People that embrace the grace of where we are. People who become more like Christ and reveal Jesus in the wild.

This weekend we wrap up our study of 1 Peter. We’ll look at the encouraging and hopeful conclusion provided in chapter 5. After pressing in on some heavy themes of difficulty and suffering, Peter closes on an upswing by assuring that in God’s time, He will lift you up. This is the truth - hardships won’t last forever. The Lord will “restore, support and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.” (vs10) We’ll close by remembering together Peter’s own life story, it is living proof that restores.

Today we finish up chapter four of 1 Peter, in our sermon series we’re calling “Church in the Wild.” Suffering can come upon us without asking for it. So don’t engage in something that will likely put you in a situation ripe for suffering! Your life’s not going to be perfect. But we do get to choose. When you are gone, will the major theme and actions of your life be those that are obviously inspired and fueled by Jesus Christ?

This Sunday we take a closer look at some of the direction Peter offers for valuing a life “squeeze” – situations/seasons when we feel hard pressed on every side.  Many of us are aware of God’s providential work in the pains of life.  But can you imagine enduring struggles without the nuggets of truth you’ve received from Scripture and from wise encouragement? That was the situation for the people that first received Peter’s letter. They’d never heard “God works all things together for good.” They just assumed they suffered because God had abandoned them or was mad at them. And, eventhough we know better…sometimes we get confused by what we are walking through to.  It’s good to be reminded that there’s a juice worth the squeeze.

We return to our 1 Peter series to take a look at the impact of the Lordship of Christ on our relationships and our actions in the community.  We are still in the section of the letter that prioritizes living “properly among unbelieving neighbors.”  The key to that challenge is found in 3:15 which addresses “setting Christ apart in our hearts.”  The more Jesus is elevated to His rightful position in our heart, the more capable we are to interact with each other and our world.

1 Peter 3:1-7 presses into some issues relating to marriage. Peter is aware that the external pressures felt by these immigrant Jewish Christians would add stress to their marriages. And he considered how Christians navigated marriage to be part of his caution to live honorably in front of unbelieving neighbors (2:12) – the world is watching. With the extra pressures that are inescapable in life, couples can easily turn away from one another and abandon their responsibilities to each other. That plays right into the hand of the devil who is working to steal their marriage and wreck their witness. We want to draw upon the Lord and faithfully adhere to the unique responsibilities that are set to husbands and wives. Let God redeem and renew couples.

As we continue our 1 Peter study, we are going to look at God’s grace to help us navigate some of life’s “extra” situations and “extra” people.  If you need help understanding the idea behind extra, the urban dictionary defines it as “dramatic, excessive, over the top, way too much.” Anybody know any “extra” people??? Thankfully God has grace to give us for the “extras.” We will look at two every extreme extra situations cited by Peter to help us guide us for walking out extra grace: submitting to governing authorities and how slaves had to endure cruelties (1 Peter 2:13-25). In our own hard situations that seem almost impossible to cope with, God gives us grace.  Part of His grace is the example of Jesus. We’ll learn about walking in His steps as we handle the extras in our life.

The Wild, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the church. It’s lifelong mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before to build God’s kingdom.  Using 1 Peter, Chapter 2 as our guide we find that we need to be packing for a mission trip, not a vacation as we walk on the wild side to share Christ with the world.

We’ve all heard the cliché: bloom where you’re planted. There is truth in the fact that we will never have a perfect situation…at least for long. Difficulty, at some point, will show up. And in those places and at those moments, God has grace for where you are. A word to speak over you, and a word given to you that will allow you to best your situation.

Church in the Wild

Whatever makes us feel disconnected, alone, apart from…whatever pain and struggle we go through…embrace where you are as part of God’s purposeful grace for you (Romans 8:28). Stand, stay in the moment, and receive the strength of God’s hand to support and favor you in this season. In these outsider seasons (no one else understands, no one else knows my pain, no one else is going through what I am having to go through), the Lord will do more to establish your faith and leverage your witness than just about another time in our life.

We need to learn how to be the church in the wild. People that embrace the grace of where we are. People who become more like Christ and reveal Jesus in the wild.
