1st & 2nd Peter
This fall we will immerse ourselves in the letters of 1st and 2nd Peter, the so-called Petrine epistles. Peter’s letters, perhaps written from Rome, give us a glimpse into the concerns and hopes of one of Jesus’ closest friends. Our hope in studying the letters of Peter is that we might round out yet another vantage point in the New Testament’s broader witness of God’s redemptive work.
We will gather, discuss, and discover how we find Jesus Christ in every corner of the Bible in our Essentials Small Groups. These 10-week small group experiences are designed to draw you into one of the essential elements of our Christian faith—moving through the Bible in community with fellow Christians. Our hope is that your knowledge of Scripture grows as you engage with the story of Jesus.
