When Life Isn’t Fair
As we move to the final verses of 1 Peter chapter 2, the Apostle is dealing with injustice. It is in these verses that we learn that every follower of Christ has the same calling. That calling is that we are to handle injustice the very same way that Christ handled it. Join us as we look at the impossible path that every disciple is called to walk upon.
How to Respond When Being Lied About?
The Apostle Peter is writing to believers who were victims of an orchestrated disinformation campaign, being waged by the Roman government. When lies are being told about us, anger is our natural response. However, Peter encourages us to go in a completely different direction. Join us in our study of 1 Peter chapter 2, as we look into the Biblical response to slander.

Traits Seen in the Family of God
Every family has certain traits, both physical and emotional. When looking at the family of God, there will be certain behavioral traits on display. As we begin chapter two of 1 Peter, we will discover there are certain expectations for those that claim that they have been born again. Join us as we discover what should be on display in our lives if we claim faith in Christ.
Motivation for Being Faithful
It’s a common trait to want to take the path of least resistance. For the original recipients of Peter’s first letter, the path of least resistance was to pull back on their commitment to Christ. To encourage these early followers of Christ, Peter lays out at the end of chapter one some strong motivation to be faithful. Join us as we seek to be motivated in our walk with Christ.
Our Response To The Lord’s Work
As we move forward in 1 Peter, we transition from what God has promised, to what we do in response of His wonderful work. Great and glorious things await the believer. But as we spend our time in this life for now, what does God require? Join us as we discover the three response we are to give in light of what God has given to us.
The Result of Trials
Trials can seem both haphazard and pointless. However, what we find in our current study of 1 Peter is that they are used of God to produce tremendous results. Peter informs us that what God is doing in our trials is securing for us, a blessed future. Join us as we look at the value of our faith being tried.
A Change of Perspective
Stress has a way of distorting our outlook on life. Pain, anxiety, and disappointment can cause us to see hopelessness in all directions. In our study of 1 Peter, the Apostle speaks a word of hope to the disciples of Christ who find themselves facing great challenges to their faith. Join us in our study as Peter lays out for us what is to be the disciple’s perspective on life.
The Central Dogma of Christianity
In Church life we find many things that we can disagree on that are not central to the Faith. In such cases, we agree to disagree, and we continue to love one another and pray for each other. However, as we focus on 1 Peter chapter one once again, we come to a theological issue that we must never compromise on. Join us as we look at what is absolutely central to our Faith.
