This week as we begin 1 Peter chapter 2 we see that a call to holiness is a call to Christian community.

The process of becoming holy is the process of being remade in the image of Christ. Holiness requires intentionality, holiness grows from grace, and holiness creates love.

Peter is writing to people who have been chosen or elect. They are set apart. In this letter, Peter is framing our existence as people of God as being in exile.

One of our values is "we are becoming people who live in communion with God". Three members of our body share stories of how they have come to live more deeply in communion with God.

As we finish this book we are reminded that Jesus is coming back. That Jesus is going to return and we should follow him.

Chapter 21 ends with a look at a new Jerusalem. How can we view vocation and health in this context and in our daily lives?

The more we experience the kingdom of God now, the more we can trust that it is coming in greater ways in the future. John's vision of a new city describes future realities but also teaches us how to see the world God gives us today.

Revelation 21 gives us some insight as to what our inheritance will be like. We share in Christ's inheritance in three ways; it is physical, it is intimate, and it is free.

Revelation chapter 20 is a clarifying and comforting reminder that the people of God are safe in Christ. The people of God are safe in death, safe in tribulation, and safe in judgment.

Chapter 19 concludes with a judgment scene. We can look at this scene from three main views: The Judge, the battle, and us.
