1 Peter Disciple Lessons from the Fisherman, by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson Here's a careful, 164-page study of St. Peter's First Epistle. It is designed to study in 11 separate lessons. You'll be able to take your time to enjoy and immerse yourself in the wonderful truths of this short letter. It can be used for personal study, sermon preparation, and for Sunday School classes or small groups. It is complete with 4 or 5 discussion questions for each lesson.

This book is divided into two parts:

Exposition of 1 Peter in 11 separate lessons, useful "chunks" to preach on or study with a group. You'll find it easy to read and to understand. Many have found it inspiring.
Bible Study Questions. These questions are designed for your personal study or use in a small group Bible study. The questions are focused not on controversies, but on how to apply the truths of the passages to our lives.

Why study this little letter? Let me give you a few reasons:

You'll be refreshed with hope and joy.
You'll see Jesus more clearly -- as Lamb, Shepherd, Overseer, Sacrifice, and Chief Shepherd.
If you're struggling with temptation, you'll find several encouragements to holy living that will strengthen you.
If you're suffering for something you didn't do -- or perhaps did do -- you'll find perspective and assurance.

Peter gives us:

A clear vision of the Church.
Wisdom for marriage
Encouragement to witness -- with gentleness
Important words about spiritual gifts, and
Guidelines for church leaders.

All this in the 105 verses that comprise this short New Testament letter! Short as it is, however, we won't rush through it, but savor it, meditate on it, and seek to internalize its truths.

Mosaic of St. Peter As you (or your small group or congregation) study 1 Peter, you'll be asking God to speak to you in these apostolic words conveyed by a commercial fisherman of Galilee -- now in Rome, soon to be executed. He's less a braggart now. Less impulsive. Time and discipleship have forged humility within him without destroying his boldness.

Peter is an apostle we can learn from. He walked with Jesus during his ministry and then spent the next thirty years preaching this Jesus and building his church all over the known world. A worthy teacher!
