1) A lot of Peter’s teaching is about submission. Mike said “I can think of no greater form of submission than that which we see in Christian baptism.” How do you see baptism as an act of submission?

2) In the teaching, we were reminded to not forget that moment when the saving power of Jesus’ death and resurrection was applied to us. When you think of your own baptism, what memories or thoughts come to mind?

3) Our human appeal to God does not save us - it simply calls upon God’s saving power which is available to us. How does the resurrection of Jesus Christ give baptism saving power?

4) In the teaching, Mike said, “Remember, you don’t fight in this life for victory but from a position of victory.” What does that mean to you? Does that encourage you?

5) If you have been baptized, what are some obstacles you had to overcome before submitting to being immersed? If you have not been baptized, what obstacles are standing in your way?
