New Testament OverviewSample

Always look out for purpose statements when reading the epistles, such as here in 3:15: "[that] you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God."

Remember that the purpose of the epistles is to teach us how to live our lives as an outworking of the completed work of Jesus.

After reading the passage, use these questions as the basis for your discussion.

1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)

2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)

3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)
