This sermon looks first at all the kinds of "alien" that live among us as a way of exploring what it is like to have a keen understanding of what it means to be different than everyone around you.
It then looks at Peter's exhortation to live courageously and with integrity despite whatever persecution may come. Having looked at what it must be like to live as an alien, misunderstood, and criticized because of the difference. Peter says it is better to suffer for doing good rather than ill.
By so doing we are like Jesus who lived in that way.
