Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. What’s your favourite comfort food?

Read 1 Peter 5:6-11.. Ask God to bless your study.

1. Why do we need to protect our minds spiritually, and what are the consequences if we don’t (2 Corinthians 11:3)? How do you protect your mind (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5)?

2. Can you give an example of casting your anxieties on God? Why is it important to first humble yourself under God’s mighty hand before you cast your anxieties on him (1 Peter 5:6-7)?

3. Why do you think the Devil in popular culture is portrayed as having horns, a red suit, pointy tail, and a pitch fork? What do you think he really looks like (2 Corinthians 11:14)?

4. What are the two common mistakes we make about the Devil? What do you think gives him opportunities to devour us? How do you resist the Devil and his schemes (1 Peter 5:8-9)?

5. What does it look like to be sober-minded and watchful? What are some of his lies that you are battling? Where do you need to be more active in resisting the Devil (James 4:7)?

6. Share about how God has given you strength to stand firm?

7. What is the promise of 1 Peter 5:10? How does that help you to be faithful in the face of your own spiritual battle?
