Trial: 1 & 2 Peter in 2009
This weekend at Mars Hill we kicked off our seven-month study of 1-2 Peter.
Peter's big idea is that Christians are "exiles" on mission for Jesus in a world that is not their home. Consequently, their life is filled with trial. God uses trial for much good in us, for us, and through us. In particular, Peter gives us four guiding principles for Christian trial:

- Principle #1 - Our life is a trial. (1 Pet. 1:6-7, 4:12; 2 Pet. 2:9)
- Principle #2 - We are to live in light of God's judgment trial at the end. (1 Pet. 1:17, 4:5)
- Principle #3 - Like Jesus, we are to live in worship to God and witness to others in the midst of trial. (1 Pet. 2:23)
- Principle #4 - Trial in life is a purposeful opportunity for our sanctification, worship, and witness to God's glory and our joy. (1 Pet. 1:2, 1:6-8, 2:12, 3:15-16, 4:13, 5:10; 2 Pet. 1:3, 3:18)
