Arm Yourselves | 5.5.2024
1 Peter 4:1-11
1. Can you think of a time you, or someone you know, experienced your “life” or “lifestyle” as your witness. What was that experience like?
2. Peter reminds us of the power of the Gospel to change the life of anyone, no matter how lost they appear. Who is someone you are praying for to come to follow Jesus and be saved?
3. What are your gifts? What are some ways you use your gifts to serve God and others?
4. Who is someone in your life that needs encouragement? How can you increase your encouragement of them? Who are you not encouraging and you should be?
Revere Christ | 4.28.2024
1 Peter 3:8-22
1. How does God want you to apply “blessing another Jesus-Follower” this week, whether from GEBC or from another church?
2. What does revering Christ as Lord, giving over all to Him, look like for you right now? How can you facilitate your heart going in that direction?
3. You might not be experiencing persecution right now, but of the four possible distractions mentioned in the sermon (not wanting to miss out on anything, a high emphasis on performance, past short-comings or failures, materialism) which do you most struggle with? What might giving over to Christ’s Lordship instead of being distracted by those look like for you right now?
4. How can you foster an eternal view in yourself and your home? Knowing that you will share glory with God, unpack what keeps you from experiencing that eternal joy right now.
4. To whom are you submitting and why do you submit to them? Why does American culture have such a problem with submission? How might submission help the church draw more people to faith in Jesus?
