1 Peter is a call to hopeful flourishing and Spirit filled mission in the midst of trials and adversity. 1 Peter was written to discouraged, confused believers who were being persecuted for their faith. In this letter, Peter encourages these “chosen sojourners” to persevere in hope, trust, good works, love, and mission even when the road is broken, hostile, and difficult. He reminds those who are united with Christ of the eternal inheritance and incredible hope we have, both in this life and especially for eternity in heaven.
Believers stand on unshakeable ground even amidst trials and discouragement.
To name a few ways we hope you will be impacted throughout this study:
• You will be encouraged by the relatability of Peter.
• You will find wisdom and guidance in how to navigate trials and persecution because of
your faith.
• You will be inspired to resist evil and injustice in God’s upside down Kingdom way.
• You will be challenged in how to love others in a more Christ-like and sacrificial way.
• You will be exhorted to live exemplary lives full of good deeds and service.
• You will be renewed in your vision of marriage.
• You will be instructed in what Godly leadership looks like.
Overall, we trust you will come away transformed by this study, because God’s Word is living and active. We look on with eager expectation of what God might do in your life and in the world through this study. We pray that seeds will be planted leading to eternally beautiful fruit.
