Podcast: Play in new window

1 Peter is an ancient letter written by the Apostle Peter, the beloved disciple of Jesus, between A.D. 62-63 from Rome, to churches spread throughout Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). His aim was to encourage them—and us—to stand firm (1 Pet. 5:12) amidst trials, persecution, and heartache in a world that is not our true home. In our passage today, 1:22-2:3, Peter calls us to live out of the new realities that are forged by the new birth, through faith in Jesus.
