1 Peter 1:3-12

A Living Hope

  1. Do you feel able to articulate what hope in Jesus is? Can you identify your hope in Jesus for all time? Are you also able to say how you hope in Jesus day to day? Perhaps if you can't think of something in particular, what would it look like if you did have hope in Jesus for tomorrow?

 

  1. How do you behave when you have lost hope? What actions do you tend to take, or not take when you are in a position where you don't feel it will turn out well?

 

  1. How have you shared hope? In what way have you communicated to other people that you have hope in your life?

 

  1. Is there someone in your life who seems out of hope, closer to despair? Is there some way you can encourage them?

 

  1. Off the Wall: Find pictures of the resurrected Jesus, and choose one to that is meaningful to you. Share it with your small group, or journal about it. Why did you choose this one? How does it capture hope for you?
