A 10-Week Study for Women
Peter's Epistles are a rallying cry for hope. Written to a young church facing intensifying persecution, they showcase the living hope of the gospel even in the midst of trials and tribulation.
Join Lydia Brownback as she digs deeper into the books of 1-2 Peter and learn that God does not abandon us in our suffering. Through the themes of suffering, the transformative power of God, spiritual authority, false teachers, and the last days, Peter directs us to the God who is faithful in our trials, working them for his glory and for our good.
The Flourish Bible Study series equips women to study the overarching storyline of the Bible book by book. Designed for individual or group use, each 10-week workbook features conversational teaching that aims to make in-depth Bible study accessible to women in all seasons of life, along with practical application questions and additional recommended resources.

Key Passage Notes
Isaiah 7:14 is not directly in scope for this 1–2 Peter study guide, but if the ESV is the base text, it renders the passage as 'virgin,' preserving the Messianic reading.
John 1:1 is outside the scope of this 1–2 Peter study, but the ESV renders John 1:1c as 'the Word was God,' fully affirming the deity of Christ.
Age Suitability
