Read 1 Peter 2:11-12 and have everyone give a one-sentence summary of these verses' main point.
Talk about each of the following words and have group members share why they are important, what they mean in this passage and how their meaning should be applied in our lives.
- Abstain
- Passion
- Flesh
- Soul
- Honorable
- Gentiles
- Glorify God
Make a list of the passions of the flesh. Talk about why it is sometimes difficult to abstain from these.
Why is it sometimes difficult to balance abstaining from the flesh and living honorably among the Gentiles? Talk about situations when abstaining might cause the world to be offended or make accusations.
Spend a few minutes talking about the people in your lives that need to turn to Jesus. Have each person identify one thing they can do to help that person think more positively about God.
Spend time praying that your friends would see the truth and turn to Jesus.
