God’s People and the Good Life - 1 Peter 3:8-12

In 1 Peter 3:8-12, Peter's turns his attention back to the church as a whole and teaches us how we can respond to unjust suffering in a God-glorifying, gospel-testifying way. In verse 8, we see the characteristics of a church whose members can respond to unjust suffering the way Peter teaches us to in verse 9, which is the way Jesus taught him to, and which is the example of both David and Paul - without returning evil for evil or insult for insult. In this sermon, we'll see how we can keep this counter-intuitive command for the glory of Christ.
