Faith Imitating Prototypes (1 Thessalonians 1:1-10). Do you thank God for your brothers and sisters in your church? You know God has chosen you because the Gospel has come with power in your life. Do you let the Gospel have power in your life, or do you try to constrain its influence?

Future Glory Shepherding (1 Peter 5:1-14). Elders are called to eagerly shepherd the flock in their charge exercising oversight and modelling the life of faith. Do we train ourselves for faith knowing this is the best way to avoid being eaten by the devil?

Last Day Living (1 Peter 4:7-19). Be clear minded focusing your life towards Jesus. Like loving fellow Christians deeply to cover over sin. Serve others with God’s grace. What is the promise in the end for those who trust and obey the Gospel?

Enduring Righteous Harm (1 Peter 3:13-4:6). Don’t fear the threats against your faith. When people speak malice against your faith, respond with gentleness and respect. Christ suffered once for sins to bring you to God. You spent enough time as reckless living pagans. Live in hope.

Gracious Bling Adorned (1 Peter 3:1-12). Your external beauty emerges from your How are you attractive to your spouse? Do you put effort into dressing up spiritually? How we treat other Christians begins with our spouse. Is your marriage adorned with grace?

Instead Of Retaliation (1 Peter 2:11-25). Are we willing to have pagans accuse of looking strange? Rather retaliate Christ bore suffering, entrusting himself to the LORD. God called you to imitate Jesus. So live as people freed from sin using your freedom to glorify God in your life.

Removing Even A Smidgeon (1 Peter 2:1-10). Can we rid ourselves of all malice, all deceit and all slander? Only through Christ can we be newborn and pure. If you are precious and chosen by God, is Jesus Christ precious to you? To be a Christian is to be priest who proclaim God’s mercy.

Only Fully Sober (1 Peter 1:13-25). Are we coasting through our faith comatose?  When God redeemed you with the precious life of Christ God called you to live out a holy faith. Through the enduring, eternal power of the Word of God you are born again. (cf. Eph 5:26)

Greater Than Gold (1 Peter 1:1-12). We are chosen by God through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The struggles we go through prove if our faith is genuine or only superficial. What value do you perceive of your God-given faith?

Don’t Be Slow Of Heart (Luke 24:13-35). Two disciples getting away from Jerusalem encounter the risen Christ. Jesus doesn’t lose his sense of humor after being crucified. “What things?” Disciples go spastic. Are you foolish not to believe the resurrection? Are you slow of heart to believe the proclamation that He is Alive!?
