This series from 1 Peter called Here / There is all about how as Christians we are a part of two different worlds. We are a part of this world HERE and we are a part of another reality THERE. We’re exploring this question of how do we live two places at once? And this question cannot be answered without the church. Because, it is the church that connects us simultaneously to HERE and THERE.
But what is the church? People see the church as many different things. However, in 1 Peter 2:1-8 we see that God sees the church as a special people whom He is building into something special.
