What does it mean to follow Jesus in systems that are broken, unjust, or misaligned with the Kingdom of God?

In this message from 1 Peter 2:11–3:7, Pastor Lucas Mitchell walks through one of the most challenging passages in Peter’s letter—submission to governing authorities, masters, and within the household and frames it through exile theology.

Peter writes to believers living under Roman rule, facing real oppression, and calls them to a way of life that prioritizes public witness over political power, faithfulness over rebellion, and obedience to God above all else.

This sermon explores:

What biblical submission actually means—and what it doesn’t
Where obedience to human authority ends
Why Peter addresses slavery and marriage the way he does
How early Christian ethics planted the seeds for cultural transformation
How believers today live faithfully in a world that doesn’t share their values

Peter’s call is not passive compliance, but Christ-shaped faithfulness that trusts God’s justice and bears witness to a greater Kingdom.
