"His Journey: From Denial to Leadership in Christ’s Church"

Peter’s journey of faith was marked by boldness, failures, and ultimate restoration. From being called The Rock (Matthew 16:18) to being rebuked as Satan (Matthew 16:23), Peter’s path was anything but smooth. He questioned Jesus' mission, denied Him three times (Matthew 26:75), and struggled to understand his role. Yet, after Christ’s resurrection, Peter was restored (John 21:15-17) and became a pillar of the early church. What can we learn from Peter’s struggles and transformation? Join us as we explore his faith, failures, and ultimate redemption in Christ.

"Peter’s Restoration, Leadership & Holy Spirit Power"

Join us for a deep dive into the life and transformation of the Apostle Peter! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Pt 3, we explore Peter’s powerful restoration by Jesus after denying Him three times (John 21:15-17), his calling to "feed my sheep," and his rise as a foundational leader of the early church.

"Peter’s Mission, Gentile Inclusion & Miracles in Acts"

Join us as we continue our deep dive into the life and ministry of the Apostle Peter! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Part IV, we explore Peter’s early missionary journeys, his powerful miracles, and the momentous revelation that Gentiles are included in God's salvation plan (Acts 10:34-48).

"Jerusalem Council, Peter & Paul’s Conflict, and Gentile Inclusion"

Join us for an in-depth study on Peter’s role in the Jerusalem Council and his confrontation with Paul! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Pt V, we explore Acts 15, where Peter defends salvation by grace alone, affirming that Gentiles do not need to follow Jewish law to be saved. We also examine Paul’s confrontation with Peter in Antioch (Galatians 2:11-14) over hypocrisy regarding Jewish and Gentile believers. This pivotal moment shaped early Christianity and confirmed that faith in Jesus Christ, not the law, brings salvation (Acts 15:7-11).

"Paul Confronts Peter, His Final Years, and the Writings of Peter"

Join us for an in-depth study on the Apostle Peter’s later years, his conflict with Paul, and his powerful letters to the early church! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Pt VI, we explore Galatians 2:11-21, where Paul publicly confronts Peter for hypocrisy, emphasizing that justification comes through faith in Christ, not the works of the law. We also discuss Peter’s final years, his martyrdom in Rome, and the inspired teachings of 1 & 2 Peter.

"Peter’s Doctrine, Church Foundation & Christian Hope"

Join us for an in-depth Bible study as we explore the doctrine of the Apostle Peter, his role in the early church, and the enduring hope for believers! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Pt VII, we examine Peter’s teachings on the church’s foundation in Christ (Matthew 16:18), the call to repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38), and living as spiritual "aliens" in a world that rejects faith (1 Peter 1:1-3). Learn how Peter’s letters encourage Christians facing persecution to embrace holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16), endure suffering for Christ (1 Peter 4:16), and stand firm in the hope of eternal life through Jesus’ resurrection (1 Peter 1:3-5). We also compare Peter’s doctrine to Paul and John, giving a full perspective on New Testament theology and the unique role of Peter’s leadership.

"Trials, Refining Faith, and Our Eternal Hope in Christ"

Join us for an encouraging study in 1 Peter, as we explore how trials refine our faith and point us to eternal hope in Christ! In SOTLVC Bible Study | Peter, Pt VIII, we examine Peter’s deep message of perseverance through manifold trials (1 Peter 1:6-7), learning how these challenges purify our faith just like gold refined by fire. Peter reminds believers that although we have not seen Christ, we love Him and rejoice in the salvation secured for us (1 Peter 1:8-9). This lesson highlights how trials strengthen us spiritually, produce perseverance (James 1:2-4), and how God protects our eternal inheritance (1 Peter 1:4-5). We reflect on Peter's personal growth—from denying Christ to becoming a pillar of faith—and how his words guide us to remain sober-minded, self-controlled, and focused on the ultimate prize: eternal life with Christ (1 Peter 1:13).

"Ransom, Redemption, and the Foundation of the Church"

In this powerful study from our SOTLVC Bible Study Series, we explore the foundation of the Christian faith through Peter’s teaching on ransom, redemption, and holiness. From understanding the selection of the twelfth apostle to Peter’s exhortation to live as “sojourners” set apart in a fallen world (1 Peter 1:14–21), we are reminded that we are redeemed not with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ—the spotless Lamb (1 Peter 1:18–19).

We also examine how Peter’s focus on the church differs from Paul's evangelistic approach, revealing how both apostles ultimately point us back to the hope of eternal life. Through open discussion on topics like the apostles’ names on the New Jerusalem’s foundation (Revelation 21:14) and the meaning of Christian "work," this session challenges believers to live distinctly and reflect the light of Christ wherever they go.

"Chosen, Cleansed, and Called into His Marvelous Light"

In this Spirit of the Light Bible Study on 1 Peter 1:22–2:9, we explore the profound identity of believers as God’s chosen people. Though we are broken vessels, we are cleansed by obedience to the Holy Spirit and called to live holy lives. Peter uses imagery of newborns craving milk, living stones, and a royal priesthood to show how believers grow, mature, and become part of the spiritual house Christ is building.

We unpack the deep meaning of “ransom” in the New Testament—how Jesus’ life was the payment for our freedom from sin, death, and Satan’s grip (Mark 10:45, 1 Peter 1:18–19). We also explore the metaphor of Jesus as the rejected cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16, Psalm 118:22) and how believers are built upon Him into a spiritual temple, no longer separated from God.
Peter reminds us that our holiness isn’t ritual—it’s relational. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and God’s own possession—called out of darkness into His marvelous light.

"Living Godly in a Pagan Society Without Compromise"

In this Spirit of the Light Bible Study on 1 Peter 2:11–25, Pastor Rob Harris teaches how believers are called to live godly lives in a society that does not share our values. Peter exhorts Christians to abstain from fleshly desires, submit to authority, and suffer righteously as Christ did—not as weakness, but as strength through submission to God's will.

This lesson examines what it means to live as strangers in a foreign land—how believers are called to honor all people, love the church, fear God, and respect governing authorities. From daily workplace challenges to enduring injustice, we are reminded that our witness is not only in what we say, but how we live. Christ’s example of silent suffering and obedience becomes our model for dealing with a hostile world.

"A Royal Priesthood and the Power of Quiet Witness"

In this Spirit of the Light Church Bible Study, Pastor Rob Harris leads a deep and engaging session through 1 Peter 2:9–25 and the opening of chapter 3. This lesson clarifies why Moses, though central to Israel’s history, is not a patriarch—and what it means for modern believers to be called into a royal priesthood through Christ’s sacrifice.

The study explores Jesus as our Good Shepherd and Overseer of our souls (1 Peter 2:25), the believer’s new identity in Christ, and how God uses the least expected to fulfill His plan. The class also engages in a thoughtful and respectful discussion on Peter’s instructions to wives—encouraging godly influence through conduct, not confrontation.

"Living for God & Suffering for Doing Good"

Join us for this powerful Spirit of the Light Church Bible class as we explore the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus Christ and dive deep into the meaning of suffering for righteousness through the lens of 1 Peter 3–4.

Learn how Christ’s identity shapes our spiritual walk and how Peter encourages believers to bless others, respond with love, and embrace godly suffering as part of their faith journey. This study highlights key Christian principles such as agape love, humility, forgiveness, and what it means to live for God in a world that may not understand your calling.

Suffering for Christ & Living Unashamed (1 Peter 4)

Join Spirit of the Light Church for Part 14 of our 1 Peter Bible Study as we explore what it means to suffer for righteousness and live boldly for Christ.
