God Knows You

God Knows You (1 Peter 1:1)

February 6, 2022

1. What does it mean to be a stranger (exile, alien)?

2. How does the idea of being an alien, a citizen of a different kingdom, resonate with you? How does it feel abstract?

3. As we celebrate Black History month, why should our identity as Christians supersede our race, ethnicity, language, or country of origin?

4. Where have you become too “at home” in this world?

5. How do you typically respond when you are sinned against for doing what is right?

6. In what ways can you feel scattered and lonely?

7. Why do you think it’s important to gather with your church family (1 Cor. 12; Heb. 10:25)?

8. Are you in love with life under the sun in this broken world? Or do you think about your real home?

9. As we celebrate Black History month, how do the Gospel spirituals sung by slaves parallel with Peter’s letter of hope to these 1st-century battered, scattered slaves?
