About the series

Standing firm through every trial.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:10

Peter wrote to believers scattered across the ancient world, people facing pressure, suspicion, and suffering for their faith. His letters are steady and clear, calling the church to hold fast to hope, to live honorably under trial, and to remember that the God of all grace is at work.

Across ten Sundays we walked through 1 and 2 Peter together, on what it means to keep believing when life is hard, to stand firm against the lies that would unsettle us, and to grow into a faith that does not quit.
