1 Peter was written to teach us how to remain faithful and content in the midst of the heavy trials of our mortal life on earth, this "time of your sojourn." We are taught the purpose and character of trials, seeing in them the sanctifying work of the Spirit revealing the genuineness of our God-given and, therefore, invincible, enduring faith.
This series of messages is a verse-by-verse exposition of the book of 1 Peter by Dave Rich, a pastor of Kootenai Community Church.
