During the first 20 minutes of the class, Pastor Rhode reads the five chapters of 1 Peter in its entirety. Overall, 1 Peter provides theological depth and practical encouragement. It focuses on living faithfully in the midst of trials, the believer's identity in Christ, and the hope of future glory. It integrates key doctrines like salvation, holiness, suffering, eschatology, and church leadership, all undergirded by God's sovereign grace.
