Peter shows us that we are refugees. His letter, written to persecuted Christians, is one of hope. Although we may face trials and experience pain and confusion in our life journeys, our inheritance is “kept in heaven.” Like early Christians, we are enroute to a far greater kingdom. And we are not alone in our journey–Jesus shows us the way. He bears our burdens and teaches us how to live.

Each section of the guide begins with a concise introduction, providing context for the biblical passage. Next, you’ll consider questions designed to prompt your own in-depth study. You’ll also find specific prayer suggestions, along with ideas for further research. Experience the joy of discovering biblical insights for yourself–then apply these lessons to your everyday life.

We will be use the book, “1 PETER WE ARE REFUGEES” by John D. Barry to guide our discussion.
