What is God’s will or assignment for my life? This is one of the most frequently asked question by followers of Jesus Christ. We asked because we desire to live a life pleasing to God. The story of Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ at Caesarea Philippi gives us some keys to seeking God’s will and assignment. It reveals that when we are aligned with God, we will discover our assignment.

1. How did you find your purpose before you were a Christian? How has that changed as you grow in maturity and in faith?

2.⁠ ⁠“Who do the people say the Son of Man is?” (16:13) - Why do you think it was important for Jesus to ask the disciples about their personal understanding of his identity? How does this impact the way you live and serve?

3.⁠ ⁠Share an area of your life you think is aligned with God and an area you are not. How can the lessons from this passage help you consider becoming more aligned with God?
