The Apostle Peter wrote this book having experienced numerous personal persecutions and trials. It is an exhortation to stand strong through difficult adversities.

• Lead by Example: Christian leaders are not called to make the “popular” choice. Do what is right in God’s eyes knowing that others are watching also.
• Live in Humility: Humility does not equate to humiliation. We must decrease so that God can increase in us.
• Be on the Lookout: The Devil is looking for apathetic believers to devour. Jesus has already overcome Satan so stand firm in your faith in Christ!
