1 Peter is particularly helpful because it is so applicable to life in the increasingly secular culture we live in. It is a letter written by an apostle for the church in exile. The minority church. The persecuted church. Even the hated church.
The title for our series comes from the first words of the letter. Peter addresses his letter “to those who are elect exiles.” (1 Peter 1:1 ESV) Exiles from where and why does that matter? We will get into that.
This letter will likely end up in the running for your favorite in the whole Bible. Luther called it “one of the noblest books in the New Testament” and put it on par with Romans and the gospel of John, and that’s saying something.
We will work through it in a style of teaching known as expository preaching. This means we will begin with explaining the text, seek to learn what Peter and the Holy Spirit meant when they wrote it, then apply it to our lives today. Join us as we dig deeply and discover new ground and fresh truth for our lives.Exiles - A Study in 1 Peter

1 Peter: Following Jesus
48-day Study in the book of First Peter
The Christian life is wonderful, but it is rarely easy. Sometimes we might even feel burdened with ‘all kinds of trials’ just like Peter’s first readers. Peter urges his friends to continue to live for Jesus, despite their present difficulties, by reminding them that they have a secure future in Christ. This expositional devotion is ideal for those new to reading the Bible and will also suit more experienced readers. This is the message of 1 Peter: Following Jesus (Click here to go to the study)
