Galatians Bible Study
I hope you'll join me in this Bible study. I've been a pastor for the last 30
years, and since 1996 I've been conducting
Internet Bible studies. Today I find great joy in teaching people all over
the world from every denomination and faith tradition -- even those with no
faith background at all. You're welcome to learn more
about me and
what I believe, if you like. -- Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, Director

I invite you to join me in a brief, six-lesson study of 2 Peter and Jude, two
short letters near the end of the New Testament. They're not often the subject
of sermons and may seem obscure to some. But here you'll find some gems of
Christian teaching:
- How to grow up in Christ, how to keep from falling.
- The nature of Scriptural inspiration.
- Why Christ's coming has been delayed.
- The dangers of false teachers and bad doctrine.
- God's awesome protection all around us.
Yes, you'll find some elements that seem kind of obscure, but we'll focus and
meditate on those verses which provide nourishment for our souls.
Here's how we'll study together.
- Each Saturday I'll e-mail you the lesson for the week. Then you'll
read the Bible passage and use my notes to help you understand it better.
- On Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and maybe Thursday, you'll receive
a question from that week's lesson to think about and answer. This is
designed as a "total immersion" approach to Bible study, since I
believe God wants to use it to work real and permanent change in your life.
(You can opt out of the daily questions if you like, however, and just
receive the weekly lessons.) You'll be thinking about these passages
constantly for six weeks -- long enough for God to work his Word into your
life and lifestyle.
- You can respond to the questions using the Joyful Heart Bible Study
Forum -- and read others' answers to reinforce your own understanding.
- On Fridays I'll e-mail you the link to a 20- to 30-minute audio
teaching that sums up the passage you've been studying that week. Some
who learn better from hearing than from reading really appreciate this.
- Then on Saturday, I'll send you the next week's lesson.
Here's the outline we'll follow over the next six weeks:
Introduction to 2 Peter and Jude
- Great and Precious Promises (2 Peter 1:1-4)
"Knowledge" in 2 Peter
- Add to your Faith Goodness (2 Peter 1:5-11)
- The Living Word of Scripture (2 Peter 1:12-21)
- Beware of False Teachers (2 Peter 2:1-22; Jude 3-19)
Parallels between 2 Peter and Jude
- Not Willing that Any Should Perish (2 Peter 3:1-18)
- Able to Keep You From Falling (Jude 1-2, 20-25)
Handouts for Group Participants (may be duplicated for group members at
no charge)
I hope I've convinced you to go with me on a JesusWalk for the next six
weeks. Join me in sitting at the feet of St. Peter and St. Jude as we learn
lessons for disciples.
Yours in Christ's service
