Message Questions: 1 Peter 4:1-11
- Describe a tough time in your life and identify how your character developed through that experience.
- “People who are getting drunk and sleeping around are having all the fun!” Agree or disagree with that statement and explain your answer.
- We’re told to “be of sober mind” so we can (1) pray; (2) love each other; and (3) practice hospitality. Explain how one of those assignments looks in your life these days.
- What’s the spiritual gift that you have been given for serving others? If you don’t know, perhaps your group can offer insight. Is that gift in full-flight, on the runway, or grounded these days?
- Talk about your dream church. What ingredients would be present in a Good and Beautiful Community that has Jesus at the centre?

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
