Summary:

This installment of the “Poeima project” emphasizes the theme of identity found in 1 Peter, where the apostle Peter reassures Christians facing persecution that they are chosen by God. The message highlights that knowing who we are—specifically, that we are loved and chosen by God—guides us in knowing what to do in life. Peter reminds believers that their worth isn't based on performance but on God's love and foreknowledge. Every Christian is part of a royal priesthood, called to proclaim God's praises. The sermon concludes with a comforting reminder for weary souls that God has chosen them, inviting them into a loving relationship.
