Strangers in the Crowd: Living as God's People in a World That Isn't Home
Apr 19, 2026 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Feeling out of place at a tennis match becomes a picture of the Christian life described in 1 Peter 1:17-23: never fully settled in the world's values. Believers are called to shift their allegiance from perishable things to God, living with reverent fear, trust in Christ, and genuine love. Joseph's integrity in Potiphar's house and Tertullian's report that pagans marveled at how Christians loved one another show how such a life sets believers apart and draws the attention of the surrounding culture.
