“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.” – 1 Peter 1:1-2
This post is the first in a series of posts which will constitute an online Bible study through the book of 1 Peter. Attached below are both Bible study notes I have compiled in a word document, as well as an audio file of myself going through the study with standard Bible study commentary:
1 Peter Bible Study, Part 1 notes
1 Peter Bible Study, Part 1 audio
This Bible study is being produced with a group of guys in Lexington, KY, my hometown, in mind, but are suitable for anyone to follow. The content of examples used will generally be directed at a male audience, however there is nothing in this which will keep women from being able to learn as well. If you come across this study and have any questions about the content of the message or about anything in general, please don’t hesitate to post or shoot me an email.

Hey guys well having already read 1 Peter 1-2. I understand the importance of 1 Peter. Peter is encouraging the believers all over the world. Peter is also calling them the elect. He is saying you who were chosen ahead of time before time began. God knows who is going to ask Jesus to be the Lord of their lives. He is addressing who the book was written for because only Christians (the elect) will understand what this book means. Until you become a Christian it will be difficult for you to be able to understand. I look forward to this Bible Study I believe it will be a great opportunity for us to be able to understand what our faith means and why we believe what we believe.
