1 Peter Bible Study | R.E.F.I.N.E.
The contrast from the bleak, black, and white of winter prompts my gratitude for spring’s colorful rebirth. I marvel at how each flower and feather is intricately designed and decorated for its unique, God-given purpose. Jesus encouraged his hearers to compare the finery of mere wildflowers to the less glorious robes of wealthy King Solomon.
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”
Each beautiful bloom starts as a small, dormant seed. After the seed is planted and covered, then processed by heat and water, the hard shell finally cracks open. The sprout reaches upward seeking sunlight. Precise roots secure a foundation specific to each plant’s needs. God fine-tunes the exquisite details of all creation. This Bible study contemplates the Creator’s refining processes for his children. We'll see how our hard, self-reliant hearts can grow in his light and stay rooted in his will for his specially designed purpose.
Join us as we read through 1 Peter and study the Holy Spirit refining AND defining us! R.E.F.I.N.E is 6-weeks long, from April 12th to May 21st, and will focus on these themes:
R - REMOVAL OF IMPURITIES
E - ENDURANCE ENACTED
F - FREEDOM IN SERVICE
I - IMPERFECTIONS MADE PERFECT
N - NEW CLARITY & DIRECTION
E - ETERNAL, DIVINE REVELATION
“[Trials] have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
