Questions:
The following are questions to help you think about Pastor Josh’s sermon, as well as offer a set of discussion questions for family worship, or gathering together in other settings. My prayer is that these questions will allow you to dwell longer, and meditate more, upon God’s holy Word and will be fodder for sanctifying conversations. — M.S.
- How is the word of God essential to our being like-minded?
- How is Peter’s use of “sympathetic” different that how we might hear it used today?
- Why is humility essential to all other aspects of living in God honoring relationships?
- In the context of 1st Peter, who are the “enemies” that they are being called to bless?
- What are we called to in verse 9?
- How do we reconcile verses 10-12 with the grace of God?
- How can you grow in the way you use speech?
- How can you be striving for peace? What is a relationship in your life that you can be a peacemaker?

- What does it mean for you that God’s eyes are upon you, His ears hear your prayer and His face is turned to you?
