Week 5 (1 Peter 4)
Peter reminds us that even in light of all that God has
done for us, it is his will for us, on occasion, to suffer for
doing what is right rather than avoiding suffering by
doing what is called right by he standard of men. It is
the will of God for our lifestyles to be according to His
plan rather than the pleasurable schemes of men.
• What description is given of “the desire of the Gentiles”? How did the
nonbelieving Gentiles respond to the recipients’ salvation? How does
this response relate to the recipients’ circumstances? What role will
God play in this ?
• What instructions did Peter give the recipients in this chapter? How
do these instructions relate to their suffering? What will be the end
result if they obey these commands? What is to be their response
while going through their fiery ordeal?
• Can someone suffer and be in the will of God? What should they do
when going through a fiery ordeal according to the will of God? How
do they do that practically speaking?

Week 6 (1 Peter 5)
The biblical teaching is clear: no one is
exempt from attending the schoolhouse of
suffering. Suffering is a part of the Christian
life. It cannot be avoided. God allows
suffering to happen to those who are His.
• What have you learned from 1 Peter about the true
grace of God? What have you learned about standing
firm in the true grace of God?
• According to Chapter 5, who suffered? Is anyone
exempt from suffering? What will God do for them after
they have suffered for a little while?
• How has God spoken to you personally through this study?
What is the most significant thing you learned? What
surprised you the most in this book?

7. Discussion Points…
Week 1 (2 Peter 1-3)
Peter wants his readers to remember two things.
First, he wants them to “remember the words spoken
beforehand by the holy prophets.” Second, he wants
them to “remember the commandment of the
Lord…spoken by your apostles.” You need to connect
to the one thing that is strong enough to keep you from
falling. The safety line that will hold you in place is the
Word of God—both the old and new testaments.
• What is Peter’s purpose in writing this letter? Of what does he want
to remind them? Why?
• Do we need this reminder today? Why?
• According to chapter 3 what should we, as believers, remember?
Why?
