In the Book of Second Peter, the Apostle Peter is going to teach about the dangers of false teachers. But, first, he presents some of the incredible spiritual riches we have as Christians (found in verses one through four). Then he talks about our response to these riches (found in verses five through eleven). Specifically, God has given us His divine power for life and godliness. This is a truth that all Christians need to meditate on.
The Book of 1 Peter was written to a church that was facing serious trials and turmoil (not unlike our world today). The hardships they were confronted with had them doubting God’s grace and made them fearful of their future. Peter reminded them that this world would never truly be their home (or ours) because they were citizens of heaven. We must put our ultimate hope in Christ as we live in the tension of being in the world, but not of the world. This ten-week series will help us successfully navigate the messed up society we’re in and experience lives of joy and hope as we learn to follow God’s Way!
