A Holy People

Apr 8, 2018    Pastor Christian Simas    1 Peter 2:9-12

Discussion Questions:

1. What does the concept of “identity” mean to you? What about identity is important?

2. Read Deuteronomy 7:6. What do you think about how Peter uses Old Testament language to describe the Church?

3. Read Matthew 5:14-16 and 1 Peter 2:11-12. In what ways are these passages describing not only a spiritual vision, but also a moral and ethical vision?

4. “From the moment we claim the truth of being the Beloved, we are faced with the call to become who we are.” – Henri Nouwen
– What do you think it means for us to “become who we are”?

5. If we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession,” how does that change how we live our daily lives?
