St Peters Orthodox Church

April 22, 2018 - Today we cover 1 Peter Chapter 1. Remembering that St. Peter is writing a pastoral letter to those suffering the beginning of the Roman persecution of the Church under Nero, St. Peter begins by calling the Church to great praise. And, by doing so, he is calling them to fix their eyes back up Christ in order to receive all of the grace He longs to give them to endure this time of trials. St. Peter also begins reminding them just how to live as the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in the face of persecution.
