Scripture quotations taken from the NIV unless otherwise noted. In the book of I Peter, the apostle Peter encourages suffering and persecuted Christians to remain loyal to Christ. He calls us to live holy lives, looking to Christ as our example. Jesus has shown the pattern of suffering first, then glory later. Therefore we can endure trials now because our eyes are fixed on our future hope. Peter explains how believers should live during difficult times and outlines the right attitude to have about persecution. The six programs cover the book of I Peter as follows: 1. Your Faith - of Greater Worth Than Gold (1:1-12), 2. Born Again - Through the Word of God (1:13-2:10), 3. Christ Suffered - Leaving an Example (2:11-3:7), 4. Suffering for What is Right (3:8-4:7), 5. Sharing in Sufferings - and Glory (4:8-19), 6. Clothed With Humility - Firm in the Faith (5:1-14)
