1 Peter 1:1-12

The Regular Guys Bible Study

Hey fellow journeyers, Ken and Steve here, inviting you into our lives for a laid-back yet earnest chat that's all about the highs and lows of walking with Christ. Ever found yourself chuckling through a sermon because the pastor hit a nerve, especially when it comes to those sneaky cravings for junk food? That's where we kick things off, sharing our own foibles, then pivot to a heart-to-heart on how to distinguish between just wearing the label 'Christian' and truly trekking as Christ followers. Our pastor's preference for the latter term really got us thinking, and we're eager to share those reflections with you.
Join us as we unfold the pages of 1 Peter, finding comfort and camaraderie with early Christians who stood firm against the gales of their time. Imagine our amusement when we hit a geographic speed bump, mistaking ancient Turkey for the vast continent of Asia—thankfully, we have Google to set us straight! We don't shy away from deeper waters, either; we dive into the symbolism of blood sprinkling and what it really means to be chosen by God. Laughter might be our default, but we promise there's a healthy dose of learning tucked in there, too.
Wrapping things up, we realize we've lingered a little too long on the opening verses of 1 Peter, but isn't that just the way with good conversation? We barely made it to verse 12, but that's the beauty of Scripture—it's so rich that you can't help but pause and ponder. So, while Steve apologizes for the tangents (which, let's be honest, you love us for), we both hope you'll come back for more next week. We promise to pick up right where we left off, continuing to discover the timeless relevance of this profound epistle, and sharing our journey, warts and all, with you in The Regular Guys Bible Study.
