Rise Up & Stand Firm—A Study of 1 Peter (Part 3)Sample

Good Suffering 

How’s your learning going? I want to encourage you to continue studying and taking notes on what you learn. I am praying for your growth and believing you’re gaining insight on how to rise up and stand firm from your in-depth time in God’s Word. Keep it up!

Pray: 

Holy Spirit, I love You. I am ready to learn and grow. Please reveal Your ways to me today. 

Today’s Goal: 

Discover how we can share the hope we have in Christ with others. 

Study Tip: 

Read slowly and patiently, thinking about all of the details you find. Consider reading the same passage multiple times and even in different translations. 

Read and Write: 

Grab your notebook and quickly review yesterday’s study notes. This is important because we want to make good connections with the text. 

Next, read through 1 Peter 3:13-17 and write down your observations. 

• Repeating Words: How many times can you find the words “good” and “suffer”? 
• Main Message: Write a summary that encompasses the main message of 1 Peter 3:13-17. What are we urged to do?

Reflect: 

• What should we do in place of being afraid of our persecutors? 
• How are we to share our hope? Why is the “how” important? 

Apply: 

• Based on today’s lesson, in what way will you rise up and stand firm?
