SERIES TITLE: “FACING THE TRIALS OF LIFE” (PART 1)
1 PeterSERIES DESCRIPTION: Trials, tribulations, and turmoil are all part of life. How to live and find comfort in these difficult times depends upon your philosophy of life. Non-believers respond to the situations of life using knowledge gathered from their experiences in this present world. The Christian’s direction and comfort come not from the world, but from the giver and sustainer of all life (Proverbs 2:6-8; 3:5-6; John 1:1-4; 8:15-18). Peter could see the dark clouds of the Neroian persecution gathering over the Roman Empire. There are times in life when comforting words of encouragement and reassurance are needed – regardless of the level of one’s physical strength or mental and spiritual condition. With this in mind Peter penned his first letter of encouragement to the Christians in the area now known as modern day Turkey. I Peter is a living letter of comfort, encouragement, and reassurance to all believers. It is a beacon of eternal truth that continues to burn brightly in a dark world. These great truths are expounded upon in this four-part series of small group studies.

SERIES TITLE: “FACING THE TRIALS OF LIFE” (PART 2)
1 PeterSERIES DESCRIPTION: This five part series is a continuation of our study “Facing the Trials of Life” — with the focus of “Part Two” upon Christians who are “living before God in times of trial.” As Christians, we face the ever-present temptations of the world, our fleshly desires, and the spiritual forces of darkness. How do we overcome these trials and temptations? How do we find peace? How can we maintain submissiveness to God’s will, and at the same time overcome the negative forces that encompass our lives? Peter’s living letter not only provides comfort and encouragement, but an answer to these troublesome questions in this five part series.

SERIES TITLE: “FACING THE TRIALS OF LIFE” (PART 3)
1 PeterSERIES DESCRIPTION: This four part series is a continuation of our study entitled: “Facing the Trials of Life.” The theme of this series of studies is “living before the world in times of trial.” How we interact with government, business, family, and a hostile world determines the level of peace or conflict in our lives. There are two philosophies of life: that of God and that of man. The philosophy of man is based upon the laws of imperfect beings; therefore the results are imperfect and flawed. Permanent inner peace and happiness are only possible when there is obedience to the perfect laws of God.
