Sunday’s Sermon:
“Build My Church”
The Call to Work
1 Peter 4:7-11
Read 1 Peter 4:7. In light of the fact that “the end of all things is at hand,” are you currently serving the cause of Christ in the world that could be honestly characterized as “faithful”? What needs to be changed or improved or maintained for you to be found faithful?
Read 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20. What would it look like for you to cherish investing into other people like Paul does? How can you keep the souls of people at the forefront of your mind no matter what you are doing to serve the church as it works to reach, teach, and train?
Read 1 Peter 4:8. How might you be most tempted to grow tired of loving others? What could be some of the practical consequences of giving into these temptations? Think of one particular person or situation that might seem difficult to you and ask for God’s help in continuing to love earnestly.
Find a “one another” command in the New Testament that you would like to grow more faithful in obeying. What will that obedience look like in your life?
Read 1 Peter 4:11. How are you currently working to build up the body of Christ? What will it look like for you to do that in the ways described by this verse?
