Peter writes to churches in modern day Turkey. It is a short book, but he is encouraging them to keep living practical godly lives regardless of what the difficulties they may be encountering. He points them to the reality of their salvation in the past, the present and the future. The God of grace is going to being you through to eternal glory. So, live in the light of this salvation – it has impacts in your whole life including your home and your workplace.

Let’s explore this book together with the following materials:

  • summary videos for each section (5-10 minutes each)
  • daily readings which should take no more than 5 minutes
  • notes and questions to provoke more thought about each daily reading
