As we begin this series through 1 Peter, we explore Peter’s short letter to the “exiles of the Dispersion,” which was a letter that turned the world upside down for his readers. Stormy seasons of persecution were beginning for the churches in the known world at that time – and yet today those storms rage in our modern day. As we walk through this book over the course of this teaching series, many topics will emerge, topics like holiness, the sufferings of Christ, suffering as a Christian, God’s sovereignty in salvation and life, the grace of God, the work of the Holy Spirit, the church as the new people of God, the reality of the unseen spiritual world, and trusting in God in the midst of daily circumstances.
