We’re in a study on 1st Peter: Living Hope through our Sunday Worship. We believe this letter meets us in this current moment, calling us to live the hope of the gospel with praise and joy amidst trails, suffering, and a world that doesn't look hopeful. Here are some resources to help you engage this later in with MC, DNA, or personal study.
MC Discussion
1st Peter lends itself very easily to a discussion time following with impactful questions that help people seek the gospel implications from the Bible.
What does this passage tell us about who Jesus is?
What does it tell us about what Jesus has done?
What does this mean about who we are?
What are the implications of these truths? How should we live?
What would our world, neighborhood, or community look like if we lived these truths?
How will we live differently?
