Description

How can we persevere through persecution? First-century Christians wrestled with this question. They were often harassed, slandered, beaten, and ostracized for their faith. As they endured these difficult circumstances, we can imagine their joy upon receiving two encouraging letters from the Apostle Peter. No stranger to suffering, Peter likely penned these letters while in a Roman prison just before his martyrdom. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul takes us through Peter’s epistles line by line. As we lift our eyes from present suffering to our eternal inheritance in Christ, we find the strength to stand firm, endure trials, and rejoice in Him.

Dr. Sproul’s expositional commentaries help you understand key theological themes and apply them to all areas of your life. Drawn from decades of careful study and delivered from a pastor’s heart, these sermons are readable, practical, and thoroughly Bible-centered. Here is your opportunity to learn from a trusted teacher and theologian as he leads you through God’s Word and shares his perspective on living faithfully for God’s glory. This is a series to serve pastors, small groups, and growing Christians who want to know the Bible better.

R.C. Sproul was an American Reformed theologian and ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. Known for his remarkable ability to effectively communicate deep, practical truths from the Bible, Sproul left an enduring legacy in theology. R.C.’s impact was evident through his diverse roles and accomplishments. He founded Ligonier Ministries, a renowned organization named after the Ligonier Valley near Pittsburgh, where it originated as a study center for college and seminary students.
