In this opening session of our 1 & 2 Peter study, we explore what it means to be Exiles With Hope. Peter writes to believers scattered and struggling, reminding them that they are not forgotten—they are chosen, known, and set apart by God. We unpack how our identity in Christ anchors us through trials, how living hope shapes our response to suffering, and how even angels marvel at the grace we’ve received. This passage challenges us to see hardship through the lens of eternity and to rejoice in the refining work of God, knowing our faith is more valuable than gold.
