Influencing Those Around You

Influencing Those Around You Pastor Josh Crockett 1 Peter 2:11-12

1. What did the Holy Spirit convict or encourage you about in this passage?

2. How can a “dearly beloved” salutation (11) encourage a healthier discussion between believers

3. If we are strangers and pilgrims (11), how does that affect our conformity to the culture around us?

4. What are some fleshly lusts (desires, passions) that war against your soul?

5. How could your desire for a clean house, success in the workplace, or academic success go from being a good thing to a ruling thing in your life?

6. How are you tempted to make sins your pets, rather than make war with sin?

7. How does Satan use our own desires to devour and destroy us?

8. Why should we try to rescue (point to our Savior) the ones who speak against us and call us evildoers? Why is that hard?

9. How are the world’s priorities often upside down?
