Under the cruel reign of Emperor Nero, followers of Jesus were dipped in tar, set on fire, and used as living torches to illuminate imperial garden parties, while others were sewn into wild animal skins to be chased to death by ravenous beasts.
Yet, in the midst of this terrifying era of random, fierce persecution, the Apostle Peter—the most wanted man of his day—boldly surfaced to write a survival blueprint for the suffering church. Welcome back to our small group study! John Barnett here.
If we were sitting across the table from each other at Panera, I would lean in and ask you a sobering question: How would you describe your hunger for the Bible?
Peter reveals that to survive the dark days ahead, spiritual growth is a daily choice that demands a desperate, newborn baby-like appetite for God’s Word. Sincere believers must crave Scripture the way a newborn baby screams and turns red until they are finally fed.
In this lesson, we will confront how easily social media updates on Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok steal our attention, and learn how to lay aside these modern idols so we can truly taste the satisfying grace of God.
Don’t wait for fiery trials to catch you spiritually starving. Join us for "Lessons On How The Church Can Endure Dangerous Times Of Hostility & Persecution". Grab your Bible, open your journal, and let’s grow together!
