Genuine Faith

October 11, 2026 | 1 Peter 1.6-12 | Rob Collis

What happens when our faith in Jesus changes us and makes us feel like aliens and strangers in our own home? This was the question Jesus’ earliest followers started asking: Following Jesus had changed them, and reoriented their entire way of life – and now they were feeling like outsiders and strangers in their own towns. And they weren’t sure what to do. That’s why Peter wrote his first letter to the church.

This week Rob Collis continues in our sermon series, Not From Around Here, as he preaches from 1 Peter 1.6-12. In these verses, Peter begins to act like an expert appraiser – to help us see and discover the genuineness of our faith. Because when our faith in Jesus is genuine, it’s more precious than we could have ever imagined!
