Home Church Questions
1. What is an example of a time in your life when you have experienced suffering? Why does suffering often shock us and knock us down?
2. One reason we can be confident in God in our suffering is that Christ also suffered (1 Peter 3:18). Why should it encourage us in our suffering to know that Christ also suffered?
3. What are some examples of ways that our suffering is like His suffering? Read 1 Peter 3:18 and highlight some ways Jesus’ suffering is different from our suffering?
4. Have you ever considered walking away from the faith because of suffering you have experienced? What encouragement would you give to someone who was wrestling with this?
5. While we might not be able to answer all the questions we have about this passage, one clear point is that we should be encouraged in our suffering because of Christ’s victory (1 Peter 3:22). Since God is in control in our suffering, we can learn some valuable lessons. What are some lessons God wants us to learn in our suffering? What are some lessons you have learned?
6. Another reason we can be confident in our suffering is that it is the path to glory. Christ’s suffering led to glory, and we are called to follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21). One way we follow Him is by getting baptized
(1 Peter 3:21). Share with the group about your baptism experience and your understanding of what it means.
7. We experienced communion this past Sunday, and we said baptism and the Lord’s Supper are related. What are some similarities between baptism and the Lord’s Supper? How should our experience of baptism and the Lord’s Supper encourage us when we are suffering?
Pray for the Unreached: The Deha in India
The Deha are a small Hindu people group in northern India who speak Hindi as well as their own community language. Traditionally known for weaving winnowing fans, many now sell cloth and work in small trades. They worship Hindu deities such as Kali and rely on their own religious specialists for ceremonies. Though the Bible and gospel resources exist in Hindi, there are no known believers among them. Pray for spiritual openness, growing literacy, and for the Deha to discover lasting hope in Christ.
