Connect Small Group Resources are Bible studies designed for use in small groups. These undated studies are grouped in four to six related topics that are relevant to the needs of small group participants. The sessions are meaty enough to be stretched into additional sessions if desired.

Participant’s material is provided that contains valuable discussion notes to stimulate interest in the biblical content and its practical application. The leader notes are essential guidance for the leader and contain supplementary material.

Use Connect studies in small groups at any time during the week or on Sunday evenings. Simply download a series for a nominal cost and duplicate the participant’s material for your group. Add each series you want to purchase to your shopping cart and proceed through checkout.

SERIES 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.
Each individual session contains study notes for the group leader, along with thought provoking discussion questions with scripture passages to consider in response. In addition, the discussion questions are printed separately as a handout for your group members. All materials may be photocopied for use within your small group.

Session 1: Living and Finding Comfort in Times of Trial
