1 Peter Bible Study Resources
Maps, outlines and resources to expand your study of the Epistle of 1 Peter
Questions Jesus Asked
Have you ever wondered why Jesus would ask a question, especially one he already knows the answer to? This series looks at the places where Jesus asks a question in the Gospel of Mark.
Psalm 27: A goal worth having
What can the story of a coal miner’s kid trying to build rockets teach us about Bible Study and Psalm 27?
Psalm 143: Dealing with depression
Psalm 143 is about being in the deepest blackest pit of despair and finding God anyway. It’s about depression, but the particular depression and anguish you feel when you’re confronted with the consequences of your sin.
What to pray when you don’t know what to pray for
Think about what you’d wish for if you had a genie. Think about what you pray for. How similar are they?
What is the Glory of God?
When Paul writes in Ephesians 2 that believers are “growing into a holy temple in the Lord” and “being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit”, he’s drawing on rich Old Testament history.
What Men Wish Women Knew About Men
What one particular husband thinks that other husbands might appreciate him telling their wives.
Do believers sin?
When I was a new Christian, I told another believer that I was struggling with controlling my temper. She told me that I was not a genuine Christian because if I was, I wouldn’t sin. If she is right, not only was I not a Christian then — I still am not a Christian now. When you discover two very different interpretations of the Bible, how do you decide who’s right?
What is the Word of Life?
Is the gospel message of the Word of Life, a “pie in the sky” other worldly gospel? Suppose I give a starving person enough food to eat to this week and next week she starves. Have I failed?
11 Romans 8.1-12 Deliverance from Sin
Most believers waste time trying to figure out how “to do” Christianity better. We search the Scriptures and self-help books looking for the “12 steps to faith,” “5 steps to better Christian living,” “3 keys to grace”, etc. I’ve got good news and bad news.
10 Romans 7:7-25 Law and Sin
Paul answers the question: “So if the Law multiplies our sin, is the Law sinful?”
09 Romans 6:15-7:6 Grace and the Law
If I am no longer under the threat of the Law, then I have no incentive not to sin? So if I have no threat of punishment, why can’t I “eat dessert first?”
