1 Peter 2:9-12
•	Peter calls us to abstain from sinful desires in v11.  How do we do that?  How does 1 Peter 1:13-14 help us?
•	We are called to do public good “as strangers and aliens”.  What are some of the traps that Christians fall into in this?  The sermon declared that “we are not to campaign for a Christian nation” – do you agree with this?  Why/why not?
•	What is Peter wanting us to feel as we read v9?  How much do you feel this in your own experience?
•	What is our purpose as God’s people?  Why?
•	Why might verse 10 be particularly important for twenty first century people?  How can we live this out in our church?
