We’re Hope City Church

Peter reminds us that we are God’s chosen people and citizens of heaven. Where have you been seeking identity, approval, or validation in temporary things instead of in God? And what’s one step you can take this week to root your identity more deeply in Christ?(1 Peter 1:1–2; Galatians 1:10; Philippians 3:20)

Loving and trusting Jesus without ever seeing Him is a mark of genuine faith. Where is it hardest right now to trust His unseen hand, and what would obedience look like this week even without all the answers? (1 Peter 1:8–9; John 20:29; Proverbs 3:5–6)

Trials prove our faith genuine. When hardship hits, are you more likely to withdraw from God and His people or press in closer? What is one way you can keep trusting and obeying Jesus in the middle of what you’re facing? (1 Peter 1:6–7; James 1:2–4; Hebrews 12:1–3)

Your salvation is part of a story God’s been writing since before creation—a story prophets longed for and angels marvel at. What area of your life do you need to entrust to His sovereignty instead of trying to control it yourself? (1 Peter 1:10–12; Isaiah 46:9–10; Romans 8:28–30)
