Kingdom in Exiles: Local Church Protocol - Robb Hibbard Hope Church
EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Cory opens with a Father's Day moment: watching his four-year-old daughter mimic his mannerisms and realize people are always noticing more than we think. That same awareness, he connects directly to the text. Working through 1 Peter 3:8-16, he walks through three things the world should see and experience when it comes in contact with the church. First, Christ's character. Peter starts not with the world but with community, because pressure from the outside almost always gets taken out on the people closest to us. How the church treats one another, especially in conflict and hurt, is itself a witness. Second, Christ's peace. Cory draws a distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, calling believers to control their tongues and actively pursue reconciliation, grounded in the reality that God first pursued peace with us. Third, Christ's hope. When Christians genuinely fear God more than people, they become free, and that freedom becomes magnetic. A hope-filled life creates curiosity, and Peter says to be ready to explain it.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.A Love That Makes People Curious1 Peter 3:8-16Cory Kasperson | NextGen Pastor6.21.2026

Kingdom in Exiles: Suffering as a Christian - Derek Hummel Hope Church
EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM Peoria's lead Pastor Jon opens with a simple but convicting reality: most people who don't know Jesus will never walk into a church, but they will watch how Christians respond under pressure. Working through 1 Peter 2 and into chapter 3, he covers three categories of everyday witness: public life, work life, and home life. In each one, Peter calls believers to absorb injustice and do good rather than retaliate, because the witness of the church shines brightest not through outrage or control but through humility, integrity, and love. The foundation for all of it is Jesus, the ultimate exile, who entrusted himself to the Father rather than defending himself. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Witness in Ordinary Life1 Peter 2:11-3:7Jon Demeter | Lead Pastor of Redemption Peoria6.14.2026

1 Peter 2:4-10 | Living Hopef or Exiles, Part 5 | 6/14/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In this powerful passage, Peter reminds us that God is doing something far greater than we often realize. Through Jesus Christ, the Living Stone and Cornerstone, God is building His people into a spiritual house, a royal priesthood, and a people for His own possession. Though we may sometimes feel weak, unfinished, overlooked, or discouraged, Peter reminds us that the Master Builder is still at work.

For the full thing, join a bronze, silver, or gold tier on my Patreon! You'll also get access to Extra Innings, Exiles conference content, free tickets, Zoom chats and more! Questions:0:52. If a pastor commits adultery, but repents, is he still disqualified from his office for the rest of his life in view of elder reqs in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1?7:55. What were your thoughts on the Pete Enns session at Exiles? In particular, how would you steel man his position about the flood narrative? 22:27. When Pete Enns spoke at Exiles I think he mentioned maybe Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses did not actually exist. What are your thoughts on this? 29:16. Advice for initiating movement into mutualism in practice & policy?31:50. How do "non-affirming" traditions engage the practice of ecumenical unity with "affirming" traditions? Does "Side A" operate outside the bounds of orthodoxy? 37:39. Is your family's current church egalitarian? If not, now that you've landed on a position, has that impacted your ability to serve/teach/etc?42:19. Why follow some OT laws (lying) but not others (shellfish, polyester)? Had an OT prof that taught that ‘ceremonial/civil/moral' distinction doesn't hold water46:07. If the annihilation theory is correct, how does that help people see their need for a savior? If you don't believe in God, ceasing to exist seems preferable. 48:13. Do you think the accommodating and not judging mentioned in Romans 14 could be applied to pronoun hospitality and how we interact with others we disagree with? 49:04. What spiritual rhythms feel most grounding for you in your ministry? And how do you balance a rhythm like scripture reading with scholarly work?50:46. How do you interact with non-Christian Biblical scholars? I have a hard time taking them seriously if they don't actually believe in what they're studying.52:56. I've read recently claims that most Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wife and that it wasn't until later that she was condemned. Any insight?54:05. Has there been any updates or significant changes in research around gender dysphoria since Embodied was released?58:36. Do Jesus' statements in Matthew 19 and the Sermon on the Mount imply that anyone has grounds for divorce because lusting after someone is committing adultery?01:00:43. At what point does being wrong about theology become sin? I'm thinking of pre-civil-war churches preaching slavery was OK, and extrapolating to today's issues.01:02:41. I heard a conservative Christian reporter refer to individuals experiencing gender dysphoria as "gender confused." Do you consider this term pejorative?

What seems to be a simple list of people points to something in the future. A future group of people united together in worship through Christ. However, just as in Ezra 2, there will be people in the future group who are deceived, thinking they are part of God's people, but they are not.

Kingdom in Exiles: What Kingdom are You Living For? - Robb Hibbard Hope Church
EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brett opens with the disorientation that comes at every stage of life, from adolescence to midlife to old age, and names the deeper question underneath all of it: who am I and where do I belong? He traces a grand biblical story from creation through Abraham, Moses, and the prophets, showing that Israel was always called to be a kingdom of priests reflecting God to the nations. In 1 Peter 2, Peter takes that same language and applies it directly to the church. Our identity is not something we create but something declared over us by God — and it comes with a mission. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.A People For God's Mission1 Peter 2:4-10Brian Berger | Pastor of Life Discipleship 6.7.2026

Daniel 9:1-19; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the tenth sermon in the series "Daniel: Hope for Exiles."
EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian opens by challenging the idea that the only difference between a believer and an unbeliever is forgiveness. While forgiveness is real and glorious, Peter wants the church to understand something bigger: through the resurrection and the Spirit, followers of Jesus are a new humanity entirely. Born again through the living and enduring Word of God, they are not just pardoned sinners but a new kind of human being altogether. Brian calls the church to grow into that identity by craving Scripture, cutting sin out of the diet, and most importantly, loving one another deeply as the most powerful witness to a watching world. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.A New Kind Of Community1 Peter 1:22 - 2:3Brian Berger | Pastor of Life Discipleship 5.31.2026

Get ready to flop on the floor this week - we'll be doing the Alligator, as mentioned in "Land of 1,000 Dances"! The first in our animal menagerie is "Alligator Meat" by Charlie Singleton & His Orchestra from 1951, which sounds like Slim Gaillard if he rocked, rather than jazzed. After dinner, enjoy "Alligator Stomp" by The Rampages - a throwback rocker from 1964. That same year, "The 100 Mile An Hour Alligator" by The P.J. Murphy Quintet captured the ferocity and energy of the titular animal in a spiffy intro number. Frat-tastic! Next, The Dynamic Kapers offer us some "Alligator Wine" to wash down the gator meat. It's an early Leiber/Stoller tune! Before they kissed you all over in the 70s, Jimmy Stokley & The Exiles warned us it was "Alligator Time." It's even more salacious than their later paean to sex! We saved the best for last with "The Alligator" by The Us Four from Louisville, Kentucky. This song has it all, dual vocals, cool percussion, an upfront organ, and koool lyrics that implore you to forget all other dances! Dance this mess around!!

1 Peter 1:14–21 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 3 | 5/31/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In a culture obsessed with image, identity, and self-expression, Peter reminds believers that Christians are called to reflect the character of their heavenly Father. Through the saving work of Jesus Christ, believers have been adopted into the family of God and are progressively being transformed into His likeness. Peter calls the church to holiness, reverence, and faith-filled hope while reminding us that we were not redeemed with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ.
Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle's From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle's Exiles, on Christians' identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy's To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 Life Update and School 06:09 Colorado Conference Plug 07:12 Making Time to Read 08:26 Book Review Genesis to Junia 12:18 Women Leaders in Scripture 22:49 Book Review Exiles 28:04 Book Review To Heal Or Harm 34:22 Mending the Soul Mission 36:43 Wrap Up and Resources 38:57 Closing and Subscribe

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Cory opens 1 Peter 1 with a call for exiles to live differently because of what Christ has done for them. He frames the message around a culture obsessed with happiness, describing how many people treat life like a giant Easter egg hunt, chasing career, pleasure, and approval, only to find it empty. But Peter points to a fuller life found in Jesus alone. Cory unpacks three realities shaping the exile's life: recognizing the privilege of our salvation, embracing the expectation of holiness motivated by both hope and reverent fear of God, and understanding the cost of our redemption in Christ.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.
