A Picture of Thriving in Exile (1 Peter 3:8-22)

Sermon Outline:

1. A picture of God’s people thriving (1 Peter 3:8-12).
2. What God’s people should expect as they thrive (1 Peter 3:13-17).
3. The reason God’s people will always thrive (1 Peter 3:18-22).

Discussion Questions:

•  How would you describe “the good life?” What first comes to mind with that phrase? How might your mental picture be different from Peter’s?  
• When have you grown through pain? How does that build trust for God’s will in your life amidst suffering?
• What types of things are Christians reviled for in our culture? How can we bless those who attack us?

This is the 10th sermon of the series 1 Peter: Thriving In Exile.
