A message from the series “Dual Citizens: 1 Peter.” Lead Pastor Nate Keeler is giving a live-streaming message today because worship services are canceled due to the snow. The scripture passage is 1 Peter 3:13-17 in which the apostle Peter exhorts first century Christians facing persecution to honor Christ as holy and to be prepared to give a defense for their faith.
