G1 1 Peter 2:2 | Do you find the idea of reading your Bible being like breast-feeding inspirational or uncomfortable? What do you feel about the maternal / female side of God (Genesis 1:27, Proverbs 1:20–33; 8:1—9; 8:18, 35:12; Isaiah 42:14; Matthew 23:37)?
G2 Dan talked about the danger of treating the Bible like a soother. What do you think he was trying to get at? What are the dangers of this?
G3 What are the advantages or disadvantages of reading a physical Bible versus using a Bible app? Which do you prefer? Why?
G4 1 Peter 2:4-5 | What does it mean that Jesus is a “living stone”? What is the difference between a “dead stone” and a “living stone”?
G5 Which image do you find more powerful – the milk image of verse 2 or the building image of verses 4 and 5? How do these images complement each other? Challenge each other?
G6 1 Peter 2:9-10 | Read the list of descriptions Peter gives to us. Which one do you like the best? Why did you choose this one? How do we know that this list is already ours, and not something we have to work towards?

S1 If you don’t already have one, consider taking a Bible reading plan and give yourself the goal to complete it. There are some good ones here - https://www.esv.org/resources/reading.... Also consider getting yourself a pocket / personal sized Bible that you can take to work or school and see if it changes your day or sparks any conversations.
