Six Bible studies for small groups which explore the letters of 2 Peter and Jude.
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
"Make every effort to confirm your calling and election," 2 Peter 1:10 tells us. "For if you do these things, you will never stumble." However well we are running now, we all need to be aware of the danger of falling away—especially in today's culture, where we are constantly bombarded by ideas contrary to the word of God. We are each responsible to hold on to the truth. The original readers of 2 Peter and Jude had come under the influence of false and immoral teachings, and these letters were written precisely to help us to stand firm in our faith.
These letters include serious warnings but also deep hope. It is through pursuing God, the one who keeps us from stumbling, and throwing ourselves on his mercy that we will make it to the end of the race. We can look forward to being presented before his glorious throne "without fault and with great joy" (Jude v 24).
These six studies take you step by step through 2 Peter and Jude, with questions that open up discussion, a focus on real-life application, and ideas for prayer. The book also includes a leader's guide.
1. How to Keep from Stumbling (2 Peter 1:1-15)
2. Danger and Judgment (2 Peter 1:16 – 2:10a)
3. Don't Wander Off (2 Peter 2:10b-22)
4. How to Wait for the Second Coming (2 Peter 3:1-18)
5. Fight for the Faith (Jude v 1-11)
6. Glorious Mercy (Jude v 12-25)

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
