A Chosen Race

1 Peter 2:4-10 | Elect Exiles | Trent Hunter We come this week to a controversial topic, God's sovereign choice of his people. But Peter doesn't seem to think this truth is a problem. In fact, he seems to assume that the message of God's choosing is a comfort for his readers. For Peter's first readers, rejected and attacked, indeed it was good news to know that as far as heaven was concerned they were chosen and precious. In this sermon we will meditate on all that God wants us to hear when we hear that he has chosen us for himself. We'll also consider some of the surprising implications of this truth for how we think about the church.
