1 Peter Bible Study 05 - Submission and Serving
Who was the worst boss you ever had? How did it end? What did you get out of that experience?
Submit?
Read 1 Peter 2:13-17. What do you think Peter meant when he said “Submit?” Why are we being asked to submit?
What is the difference between a “king” and a “governor?” What would be equivalents today in government? At work?
Is there ever a good reason not to submit? What can happen if we choose not to submit?
What effect can our submission have on those around us (verse 15)? Compare to Matthew 5:16.
Freedom
What is the responsibility of freedom? How can someone use their freedom as a cover-up for evil? Where does our responsibility ultimately lie?
Are being a “servant” and “submitting” the same thing? What are some ways that we serve God that we would not submit to an earthly ruler?
Respect
Compare and contrast the three kinds of respect we give and to whom we give it. Why are there these distinctions?
Application
What is the area of submission that you need the most growth?
Homework for Next Week:
