1. Peter once told Jesus 'no' because he did not want Jesus to suffer. Why do you think we also struggle with the idea that suffering could be part of God's plan?
2. In 1 Peter 2:15-17, Peter talks about living honorable lives to silence foolish accusations. What does living an honorable life look like in today's world?
3. How can we balance our freedom in Christ with the call to live as God's servants?
4. Can you share a time when you struggled to submit to authority? How did God use that situation to teach you something?
5. Why do you think Jesus emphasized the value of the soul over worldly riches in Matthew 16:26? How can we apply that perspective to our lives today?
6. 1 Peter 2:18-20 speaks about enduring unjust suffering. How can we guard our hearts from bitterness when we face unfair treatment?
7. Peter says that Christ is our example in suffering. What practical steps can we take to follow in Jesus' footsteps when we experience hardship?
8. How do you think God wants to use seasons of suffering to refine our character and faith?
9. After hearing this message, is there an area of your life where you need to trust God more fully and take a step of obedience, even if it might involve some suffering?
