But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

This week we contine our study of Gospel Partnership.  As we work our way through this series the flow of the gospel jumps off the pages of scripture.  Last week we saw that Jesus was cast out of his family in order that we may be brought into his.  This is the flow of the gospel.  Because Jesus has done something we now have a new identity of being in the family of God.  Particularly this week we look at 1 Peter 2:9-11. As we focus on 1 Peter we see the flow of the gospel once again.  Jesus is a mission God.  He has left the comforts of his home in order to come love, serve, and ultimately reconcile others to himself.  Jesus mission was infinetly costly to himself.  Because Jesus has done this we are now given a new identity.  Listen in as the text is explained.
