Sunday School Lesson.

 

Sunday Morning Bible Class

This Quarter our Theme is

 The Epistles of Peter

The apostle who seemingly spoke up most often in the gospel records, Peter waited a long time before committing to writing what the Holy Spirit inspired him to teach.  His two letters are practical, challenging, inspiring and helpful to Christians of all ages and times.  These lessons sound as if Peter wrote just for us.

A Heavenly Inheritance

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

    I Peter 1:1 - 5

 

Joy and Grief 

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

I Peter 1:6 - 9

Precious Promises

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

II Peter 1:1 - 4

 

 

 

Your teachings are sweeter than honey.  They give me understanding and make me hate all lies. Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk.

Psalms 119: 103 - 105
