Over a five-day plan, we explore what it means to seek God in places of darkness and pain and how to wholeheartedly rely on Him to carry us through.

When we first met Peter in the Gospels, he was a brand-new Christ-follower. Now, years later, his life has been changed by grace.

These six lessons through 1 Peter are part of THRU the BIBLE’s trusted study through the whole Word of God.
