Suffering Well

Key Points





Peter points us to the mortification side of the cross to arm us
against the temptation to go back to the past life in the flesh.


We are to reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to Christ.


Suffering for doing good is within the will of God.


Love covers sin but love also includes discernment.


Remembering the Holy Spirit rests upon us during trials is
reassuring.


Hatred stirs up strife and so does meddling.


“If you want to learn how to love, start with someone you
hate.” Nikka (6 yrs old)





Discussion Questions





Are you under a trial? Can you discuss what your temptation is?


How does Isaiah 11:2 help while going through a trial?


Peter frames the gifts into two categories: serving and speaking.
Which category do yours fall into? How are you able to use them
to glorify God?


Please pray for each other’s needs.
