Discussion Questions

Quick Review: Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?

  1. When talking about love, how can we cultivate love in our own lives that is not “out of compulsion” but out of willingness? How might this differ depending on what part of our life we are talking about?
  2. When it comes to submission, what parts of our culture make that more difficult? Where do we find submission easy and where in our lives do we find submission hard? Why?
  3. How can you make sure to keep a “close” relationship with God and continue to let Him mold your heart?
  4. Today’s passage was written in the context of a time of suffering and persecution; would this context make the instruction of today’s passage easier or harder to carry out?
  5. Peter draws strength from looking at a future in heaven with Christ, serving as a further motivation in our lives right now. Do you spend time framing life in this same way in your mind? If you do, how has it helped?
