1–2 Peter and Jude are letters written to churches experiencing various kinds of trials—false teachers, distorted views of the gospel, and harsh persecution. If 1 Peter exults, “Jesus will return!” and 2 Peter rebuffs the claim, “Jesus won’t return,” then Jude exhorts, “Jesus is just about here!”

Together, these letters form a kind of manifesto of hope for living faithfully no matter how dark the times. This study highlights the importance of holding fast to the true gospel, living distinct, holy lives, and looking ahead to the return of Christ.

Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:

• Ask thoughtful questions to spur discussion
• Show how each passage unveils the gospel
• Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
• Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
• Invite you to discover practical implications
• Help you better understand and apply God’s Word
