9 Talk One The Gift of a New Identity 1 Peter 1:1-2 KEY IDEA: If we want to live faithfully as Christians in this world, we need to embrace our identity as resident aliens chosen aliens, known aliens, sanctified aliens and loved aliens.

Do you feel comforted by the truth that in his love God chooses people even you to be a part of his people? If you are a Christian when you became a Christian, did you feel like God s Spirit was working in your life - sanctifying you - to bring you to trust in Jesus? What were the signs that this was happening? 12

12 (Study One) (The Gift of a New Identity) In your own words, can you explain why it is necessary to be sprinkled with Jesus blood to be a part of God s people? If you are absolutely honest, would you prefer to be rejected by God and accepted by people, or rejected by people and accepted by God?

What things about your Heavenly Father might make you to want to be like him? FEAR: In vv , what two reasons does Peter give for living our lives in reverent fear of God? Do you think your life shows that you respect and fear your Heavenly Father? 16

What should empower us children to love each other even when it s hard? GROW: How does Peter say Christians grow up in their faith? What can you do practically to feed on God s Word? What do you tend to do when you don t crave God s Word? Can you think of anything from this passage that you could share with someone you know either Christian or not? How might you share this? Spend some time praying for each other. 17

21 Quiet Time Intro 22 What is a Quiet Time? It is the time set aside each day or regularly, to meet with God. God wants to speak to us (through Bible reading) and He wants us to speak to Him (through prayer). Quiet time is not a duty or a commandment, but a privilege and response to God s love for you. Psalm 19:10, says this about God s words, They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. As you read and meditate upon God s word, you will be encouraged and strengthened in your faith. This year, we will use S.O.A.P. S.O.A.P. is a method of Bible reading and study. It can be used with any daily Bible reading plan, and while we re at East Camp we want to introduce it to you. This will give you an opportunity to learn a simple system that you will be able to use when you get home, through the year, and maybe for many years to come. S for Scripture Open your Bible to today s reading. Pray that God will help you understand this section, then take some time to read through it carefully. Look through the rest of S.O.A.P. and then read the Bible section again. O for Observation What struck you and caught your attention in what you read? What do you think God was saying to the original readers? What are the key words in this passage? Is there a main theme? Write down these thoughts. A for Application Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Is it some instruction, or encouragement? Have you learned something wonderful about God? Does it reveal something about your life? Write how this scripture can apply to you today. P for Prayer This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Spend some time praying, and then write a brief prayer.

22 Quiet Time One Scripture - Pray that God will help you, then read: Ephesians 2:1-10 Observation - What did you observe in this section? (What words are repeated? What is the main thing happening here? What else do you see in this section? What questions do you have?) Application - What applies to your life? (Who are we? Who do we belong to? Does it matter what you think of Jesus? Why? What do you think of Jesus? How do you come to this conclusion? Are there other applications for your life?) Prayer - Write a short prayer. 23

23 Quiet Time Two Scripture - Pray that God will help you, then read: Titus 2 Observation - What did you observe in this section? (What words are repeated? What is the main thing happening here? What else do you see in this section? What questions do you have?) Application - What applies to your life? (Who are we? Who do we belong to? Does it matter what you think of Jesus? Why? What do you think of Jesus? How do you come to this conclusion? Are there other applications for your life?) Prayer - Write a short prayer. 24
