Next Steps
- I confess my sin and turn to Jesus as King for the first time.
- I confess I find identity in what others say about me instead of who God says I am.
- I commit to stand on truth with this church. Contact me about membership.
Deep Dive
- Read 1 Peter 1:17-21. What does it mean that you were purchased by Jesus’ blood?
- Why do we struggle with the idea of being owned by God, and how does that impact our service to him?
- How can we encourage one another to find our identity in who Christ says we are?
Springboard
- Who are some well-known “celebrity” preachers/teachers who have been faithful to the Word?
- How can we tell if a teacher or author is actually teaching consistent with Scripture?
- Read 2 Peter 2 and discuss why false teachers are so dangerous.
