It is never too early to start planning, so we warmly invite you to join us for our annual Fall Bible Conference at the Duluth Bible Church.

1 PETER: SUFFERING FOR THE SAVIOR
(Verse-by-Verse Exposition of 1 Peter)
Are you experiencing trials, suffering, and perhaps even persecution as a believer in Christ? Are you wondering how to respond? The epistle of 1 Peter was placed in God’s Word to provide believers with Christ-centered hope for the trials of this life, as we look back to Christ’s suffering for us on the Cross and forward to His glorious return. If you want your faith fortified, your hope renewed, and your love for Christ and others rekindled, plan to join us for this rich time of teaching from God’s Word and fellowship around the Lord Jesus Christ. These messages from the book of 1 Peter will involve expository, verse-by-verse teaching as each Bible teacher reads the text of God’s Word, explains its meaning, and applies it to our Christian lives as enabled by the Holy Spirit.
