Christ, Noah, and Baptism

We’ll spend our second week at SixSixteen Sunday Morning looking at 1 Peter 3:18-22. This is undoubtably the most difficult passage in 1 Peter. Last week, we just touched on the issue of what verse 19 means when it says, “[Christ] went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison.” We began to answer three questions:

1) Who are the spirits in prison?
2) When did Chirst do this proclamation?
3) What is Christ proclaiming?

We will start there this week.

After that, we’ll hopefully look at what “Baptism. . . now saves you” is meant in verse 21.

Finally, we’ll want to think hard about why Peter would write verses 18-22. I said last week that he writes these verses in order to give suffering believers hope. But how does it give them hope?

The Bible study takes place at the downtown campus in Room 114 (near the bookstore) at 9:00 a.m.
