Today on Summit Life, Pastor JD Greer begins a new study of first Peter.

What separates, listen, the people of God from the people of the world,

most distinctly, is how they respond to disappointment,

how they respond to pain, and how they have hope in the midst of suffering.

That is to be the one area where Christians, followers of Jesus are so distinctive

that people just start to ask questions.

Welcome to Summit Life, the Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor,

author, and theologian JD Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch.

You know, from the first century to the 21st, Christians around the world have

gladly given their lives for the sake of the gospel.

and praying for their enemies. So where did they get that otherworldly courage?

Pastor JD Greer answers that question today on Summit Life,

as we kick off a new teaching series called I Am an Alien.

We are learning what it means to be in the world, but not of the world.

So grab your Bible as Pastor JD starts us in the right place with today's message titled,

I Don't Belong Here.

Peter is an apostle that everybody seems to like because there's just something about Peter
