Entice: It does not take a lengthly text to teach a powerful lesson.
I am grateful for that.
Sometimes the result is even a shorter sermon!
My basic rule is to follow the natural contours of the text.
Modern translations try to follow the text's logical structure as well.
Sometimes they get it right.
Other times they flinch.
They look at two verses and think "too small."
"Not enough there".
"This can't be a whole paragraph."Today
we are looking at two verses.
One tiny paragraph.
Two revolutionary verses.
The rest of and 3 require us to understand these verses in their clarity and power.

Engage: Last week we looked at the Church as a place created by God for us to have a sense of belonging.
That is crucial because our faith makes us outcasts, illegal aliens, sojourners or exiles in this fallen world.
Can you think of some things that make you feel like you are not a part of our present fallen culture?
sojourners or exiles in this fallen world.
Can you think of some things that make you feel like you are not a part of our present fallen culture?
How life is or is not valued.
The flaunting of aberrant sexual morals.
Pointless accusations about the "true motives" of the Christian community.
The widespread perception that Christians individually and the Church collectively are all haters.
Now for the hard part:
We are neither directed nor expected by God to respond in kind.
The best argument for Christ and His Church, the argument at the heart of this text is our redeemed, righteous, holy living.
The best argument for Christ and His Church is our redeemed, righteous, holy living.
Expand: The Church should have a counter-cultural presence in the world.
The world works either to assimilate or humiliate.
It celebrates those who assimilate and humiliates those who refuse.
Accusations fly.
Assumptions are presented as facts.
Malice is an ascribed certainty.
Peter does not direct us to out argue those who despise us-but to out love, out righteous, out abstain, out forgive, out behave our enemies.

Excite: This is not easy for us because arguing can be invigorating.
Fighting is fun!
Conflict seems confirming...Self-denial, honorable conduct, doing the right thing…That's…That's the kind of thing that Got Jesus nailed to a cross….

First in verse 11 Peter discusses
Body of Sermon:
Internal
Holiness.
You are not alone.
(You are beloved though an alien, you are beloved in exile)
You are able.
(Peter exhorts us to the effort needed to do what God expects.
What He expects he enables)
You can abstain...or be attacked.
(Your behavior provides the logistics for the war against you)
Next Peter addresses the dynamic of
v. 12 External
External
holiness
It all begins with right conduct.
Holiness expressed is Good conduct.
It all begins with right conduct.
Holiness exposes the great contradiction.
(How can the world see good deeds and call us evil?)
Holiness enables a glorious confession.
The goal of our good conduct is not for people to say aren’t those people great but for them to say…isn’t God good, isn’t grace awesome, let us accept and praise Him in His glorious, saving visitation!
Cresting the horizon of holiness...
There is more to come.
Peter is not near finished addressing our conduct.
His admonitions will in the coming verses address the specifics of politics, family, and economic relationships.
