Continuing on from the introduction, Peter demonstrates to the Church how they can grow and live in obedience to God because of what God has supplied for them.

Peter introduces himself and sets the tone for the rest of the letter he writes to the general Church.

Welcome to Season 19! Once again, we take a look at the who, when, and why behind Peter's second general letter to the Churches.

As we wrap up Season 18, it's time to debrief and recap what we've been studying in 1 Peter.

Peter identifies the source of opposition for Christians, encouraging them to stand strong in their faith, fight, and to remember the victory they have in Jesus.

Shifting to focus on the elders in the Churches, Peter encourages everyone to have a humble, healthy attitude towards one another.

Contrary to our intuition, Peter declares how blessed God's people are when they suffer for the Name of Jesus.

Peter provides urgency and importance to why Christians ought to continue in prayer, love for one another, forgiveness, and hospitality.

Persecution because of faith in Jesus is unavoidable - Peter's encouragement is to endure and to celebrate how Jesus is proclaimed in the midst of suffering.

In light of questions about their faith, Peter encourages Christians to be ready to defend and explain what they believe and why they believe it.
