1 Peter Study Notes (2023)

1 Peter 1:1 | Introduction to the Book and the Man Peter

January 22, 2023 • Pastor Ray Bollas • 1 Peter 1:1

As we begin this great epistle it has been challenged that Peter could not have written to such spiritual depth because he was just a simple fisherman. Simple fisherman yes, but this book serves as a testimony to Peter and a witness to us, just what God can do with a life yielded to Him. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

1 Peter 1:2 | Elect According to the Foreknowledge of God

January 29, 2023 • Pastor Ray Bollas • 1 Peter 1:2

We start our study with the word, “Elect”. God starts this Epistle with that word, so that when hard times come, when doubts flood in, we have a word that is immoveable and unshakable by the God who speaks it concerning us who believe. Join us as we look into one of the greatest words in all the Bible and see what it means concerning you. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

1 Peter 1:2-12 | Preserved – Proven – Predicted

February 5, 2023 • Pastor Ray Bollas

Sixteen times in this short epistle Peter uses the word “suffer”, and its use reveals a theme of why this epistle was written. In our study today we will see God’s hand in hard times, and what the master goldsmith (Jesus) is doing in the midst of our trials, hardships, and sufferings.

1 Peter 1:10-12 | Predicted by the Prophets

February 12, 2023 • Pastor Ray Bollas • 1 Peter 1:10–12

In verses 10-12, Peter is making the point, you want to know the certainty of your future, look to the past. When you see the fulfillment of the Lord's First Coming, then you will be certain of His Second Coming. First, He came as the Suffering Messiah to die for the sins of the world, next He will come as the Victorious Messiah, coming to claim His people, and judge all who have rejected Him. He is coming for you, He is coming for me, because He says He will, for His Word is perfect. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas
