How to Follow Jesus in a Challenging World
Early Christians were facing church divisions, believers falling into immoral behavior, and abusive teachers. The letters of 1 & 2 Peter and Jude offer instructions for Christian living in a pagan empire swamped in such problems.
The apostle Peter encourages believers to remain steadfast in their faith, uphold moral integrity, and be vigilant against such corrupt influences, emphasizing the importance of pastoral care and unity within the church.
Providing an in-depth exploration of the letters of 1 & 2 Peter and Jude, Scot McKnight shows how the teachings of these early letters can empower us to live faithfully and boldly, even in a world that often feels hostile to faith.
What you will find in this Bible study is in-depth exploration of the letter, poignant insights from the heart of a pastor, real-world relevance for your daily life, and thoughtful questions to get at the heart of the message and put it into practice.
