1 Peter · Dr. Shane Koehler
March 23, 2025 - November 30, 2025
In this series we work through Peter’s first letter, written to Christians scattered as exiles and facing growing hostility for their faith. Peter sets before them the blessings of being born again to a living hope, their identity as God’s chosen people, and the example of Christ, who suffered for us. Across the letter he equips believers to live the good life amid persecution, resisting temptation and entrusting their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
