- Read 2 Peter 1:3-11. Discuss what it means to “make your salvation sure.” What do we do as believers in cooperation with the Holy Spirit to “solidify” our journey of sanctification?
- What steps can you take this week to be more disciplined in your faith?
- Who is someone in your sphere that is very different from you. What makes it challenging to engage them in spiritual matters?
