BUY NOWWhy teach The Apostle Peter?
The Apostle Peter curriculum takes students through the eyewitness account and letters of Peter, Jesus’ disciple and pillar of the early church. Mark’s action-packed Gospel, likely written under Peter’s influence, shows students who Jesus is: the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God, the Suffering Servant, and the resurrected, coming King. 1 and 2 Peter point students to the abundant grace found in their perfect Savior and helps them to see how Jesus’ identity—and their new identity in him—gives them all they need for a faith that endures and thrives until Jesus returns or calls them home.

In Mark, students will see Jesus’ identity unfold through his life, teaching, and ministry. Jesus was consistently subverting expectations about who the Messiah would be and what he would do as he made his way to the cross to ransom us from our sin.
In 1 Peter, students will learn how Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection give us an eternal hope that equips us to face the difficulties and persecution we face as Christians. Jesus’ saving work gives us a new identity that transforms how we live in this world and with each other.
In 2 Peter, students will be exhorted to grow in grace by standing firmly on the gospel of Jesus and God’s Word as they wait patiently for Jesus’ return. While temptations and false teaching seek to draw them away, through Jesus, God provides everything students need to grow and stand firm.
