Discussion Questions for Families & Small Groups
From this week's teaching on 2 Peter 1:1 - 4, Do We Have All We Need?:
Peter identifies himself as both a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. How do these dual roles of humility and authority shape the way we should approach sharing our faith with others?
The sermon emphasizes that believers have obtained a faith of equal standing with the apostles. How does understanding this equality affect the way you view your own relationship with God and your spiritual responsibilities?
When facing prolonged trials, we may wrongly conclude that God has been more gracious to others than to us. What practices can help us combat these false thoughts and maintain trust in God's goodness?
The text states that God's divine power has granted us all things that pertain to life and godliness. In what specific areas of your life do you struggle to believe you have been given enough, and why?
How does the Gnostic influence described in the sermon—separating spiritual knowledge from physical practice—still manifest in modern Christianity, and what dangers does this pose?
The sermon describes God's power in us as the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. How should this reality change the way we approach our daily temptations and struggles with sin?
Peter's experience of walking on water illustrates the importance of keeping our eyes on Jesus rather than our circumstances. What specific waves or circumstances are currently distracting you from focusing on Christ?
The sermon argues that true knowledge is not just knowing about Jesus but experiencing Him personally. What is the difference between these two types of knowledge in your own spiritual journey?
God's word is described as more valuable than gold and possessing power to transform us. Do our daily priorities and time investments reflect that we truly believe this, or do we treat Scripture as less valuable?
The text says we have completely escaped the corruption of sin both now and in the future. How does understanding this present aspect of freedom from sin's power change the way we fight temptation today?
