By His Wounds You Have Been Healed
1 Peter 2:21-25
Preparing your heart for the sermon:
- How does Peter describe our condition before Christ?

- What is the result of Christ’s sacrifice for us?
Other passages to consider: Ps 23; Isa 40:11-12; 53; Luke 15:1-7; Jn 10; Eph 2:1-10
Digging Deeper:
- From what have we been healed? Is there more healing to come? What will that entail?
- Knowing the Lord is our Shepherd, what does this tell us about our relationship with him?
- How does Christ provide shepherding and oversight? (Hint: where else does Peter talk about these things in his letter?)
- In what area can you be living to righteousness?

Sermon – The Gathering of the Local Church – 1 Peter 2:4-8
Preparing your heart for the sermon:
- Why do we gather as a local church?
- What image does Peter give for the church? What do we learn about the church from this picture?
- How is Christ’s relationship to the church described?
Other passages to consider: Ex 19:3-6; Ps 96; 118:22-24; Isa 8:11-15; 28:14-16; 43:1-7; Matt 16:13-20; 21:42-46; Acts 4:8-12; 1 Cor 3:16-17; 14:24-25; Eph 2:13-22.
Digging Deeper:
- What does it mean to worship God? How can we do this?
- In what ways does gathering corporately help us worship God and bring glory to him?
- Should church services be geared toward unbelievers? If not, how could God still use the gathering to bring salvation to the lost?
- What should people learn about God from attending a gathering of AGC?
