Message Questions: 1 Peter 1:13-25
- Was there a time in your life when you “lived in ignorance” or followed in an “empty way of life” handed down by your ancestors? Tell that story and how you came out of that.
- How are you using your mind to pursue the hope you have in Jesus? What do you have to avoid these days to be alert and fully sober?
- Who are you trying to be like? Who are you imitating? Explain how you are doing “being holy as God is holy.” Is there hope?
- How do you feel about having a Father who disciplines you? What is included (and not included) in “reverent fear”?
- What does “love each other deeply” look like in real life? What has it meant for your small group?

Romans 12:1-2 - Jesus’ invitation is to follow him: to be with him, become like him, and do what he did. We surrender control to Jesus, resist the pattern of the world that shapes us, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit for transformation.
Mark 1:16-18 -We begin our series on Practicing the Way—exploring how Jesus’ rhythms of prayer, fasting, solitude, and Sabbath invite ordinary people to grow in grace and intimacy with God
Acts 17:16-34 -Paul shares the hope of Jesus in everyday language, guiding seekers toward truth and showing where their search for God had gone astray.
Acts 13:1-5 -The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals. The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!
Acts 8:9-25 - Simon put on a good show (literally!), but his heart was full of bitterness. He wasn’t healthy and wasn’t taking the steps to be healthy. What about us today?
Acts 2:40-47 - As a church, we’re taking some time to talk about our vision and strategy. We’re hoping to add clarity to why and how we do what we do in this season.
