- Read 1 Peter 1:3-9. Peter references our inheritance. What is our inheritance?
- Peter speaks of a refining that occurs through trials. What is accomplished through the refining process? What does a refined faith look like?
- How does the faith that Peter speaks of see Isaiah 65:17-25?

- What encourages you most from Isaiah 65:17-25 or 1 Peter 1: 3-9?
