1 Peter | 1 Peter 2:13-25 | John Baker

In a world where authority is often questioned, goodness is misunderstood, and suffering feels meaningless, how are followers of Jesus supposed to live?In this message from 1 Peter 2:13–25, we’re reminded that our identity in Christ reshapes everything. Because we belong to Jesus, we live differently. We submit to authority with wisdom and trust, do good in a watching world, endure suffering with purpose, and reflect Christ in all things.We're not talking about blind obedience or passive faith but about living with an “audience of One,” trusting that God is at work even in the hardest moments, and following in the footsteps of Jesus, our example, Savior, and Shepherd.If you’ve ever wrestled with injustice, struggled under authority, or wondered how your life points to Christ in everyday moments, this message will encourage you to live with confidence, clarity, and hope.
