1 Peter 5:8-11

1 Peter 5:8-11: Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Discussion Questions:

What things in your life might distract you or prevent you from being sober-minded?

How can you watch for and identify spiritual (invisible) enemies?

How can you be “firm in faith” or spiritually prepared to resist the devil?

In verse 10, how do the words “restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you” describe the Christian life? In other words, what do they tell you about what God has done for you?

What does it mean that God has “dominion”? Why should that encourage us in our fight against sin and Satan?
