Our goal is to raise $2,500 this month.

This will put us on our way towards giving a village in Africa clean water—so we hope you’ll prayerfully consider this ministry!

SS Lesson, Dec. 5

Crossroads Bible Church Sr. High Student Ministry
Sunday School Class Notes, December 5, 2010.
Knowing Christ, Week #14. Wrap-Up, 1 Peter 1.

Discussion Starter: Sitting at school during a friendly lunchtime discussion. The person sitting across from you says a few things, such as, “I think people are good deep-down. I’m a good person.” Among other ideas, they say, “I don’t like Christians because their religion is just a bunch of rules and regulations that give them a crutch to go through life with.” One last question they pose is, “What does the death and alleged resurrection of a 1st century Jewish carpenter have to do with how we live our lives in 2010? Taking them one at a time, how do you respond?

1 Peter 1: A Chance to Review.

How are we described in v.1?

In verse 2, why is he writing?

In verse 3, what has Jesus Christ done for us?

In verses 4 & 5, what are the results of this reality?

In verse 6—9, what are some of the benefits of “various trials?”

In verses 10—12, what happens after “careful search & inquiry?”

In verses 13—16, based on these things, what are we to “do?” Why?


In verses 17—21, how are we to view our lives now? What role did Christ play? When was this role known?

In verses 22—25, what should be the results of Christ’s work? Why?

Applications from the semester:

The “great problem of the Bible” is how does ________________________ man and a __________________ God become reunited.

The reasons the new covenant is superior to the old covenant are (2 Cor. 3: 5--18)

The work of Christ changed our ___________________________ (Eph. 2:10)

We can now live in the ____________________ (Galatians 5), giving thanks, leading to peace.
