Trust And Obey

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

As we seek to trust and obey Christ, we will discover that obeying God sometimes means we will experience being made fun of, bullied, or even persecuted because of our faith in Jesus. Using the biblical context of Peter’s message to the displaced and persecuted believers in his first epistle, we will learn how to continue to praise God and follow him faithfully, even when obeying him feels like it’s anything but fun. Following Peter’s advice to early believers, this series encourages us to continue to follow Jesus, even when it’s not the popular or comfortable thing to do, by offering biblical, applicable advice on how to put our faith into action.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
