Overview of I Peter (1 of 20)

I Peter 1:1
My intent today is for the Holy Spirit to give you a hunger and thirst to live with me in the next few months in I Peter; not just on Sunday mornings, but through the week as well.
After the Gospels and Acts the remainder of the New Testament is made up of twenty-two Epistles, and I would like to show you how these letters sort out and what is the purpose of each one. These letters, when you look closely, quite naturally and easily fall into three parts.
1. THE CHURCH EPISTLES (9)
Immediately following Acts the first nine letters are to the churches. They were all written by the Apostle Paul. They all teach and instruct the churches in doctrine and practice. They cover everything that goes on in the local church. Our doctrinal position all flows out of these Epistles to the Church.
Romans Philippians
I Corinthians Colossians
II Corinthians I Thessalonians
Galatians II Thessalonians
Ephesians
2. THE PASTORAL EPISTLES (4)

Hebrews, the first of the nine, is written to the "Jewish nation" (1:1-2). These final nine Epistles were written to bring Israel to t ...
