Discussion Questions

May 18, 2025 / Shawn Lind / 1 Peter 4:1-6

1. What are some ways people tend to pursue their own desires instead of God's will?

2. Why do you think it can be hard for someone to fully give their life to Christ, even if they say they believe in Him?

3. How would you define 'the will of God' in practical terms?

4. Have you ever worried that you missed God's will for your life? How did you respond to that feeling?

5. How does the idea of suffering for Christ make you feel? Why do you think Peter emphasizes it so much?

6. What does it look like to 'arm yourself with the same attitude as Christ'? How can we do that daily?

7. What helps you resist the temptation to follow the world or your own flesh?

8. Can something seem like a good plan but still not be God's best for your life? Share an example.

9. How have your desires or priorities changed since following Jesus?

10. What does Romans 12 say about how we can begin to recognize God's will?

11. Are there any adjustments God has made to your plans that turned out better than you expected?

12. In which areas of your life do you struggle the most to surrender control to God?

Blog comments will be sent to the moderator
