1 Corinthians 12:12-31
OPEN:
- What is one skill you secretly possess?
DIG:
- Why is 1 Corinthians 12:12 such a good illustration of 1 Corinthians 12:13?
- What could be an example of a "weaker" part of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:22)? Of a "less honorable" part (1 Corinthians 12:23)? Of a "presentable" part (1 Corinthians 12:24)? Does each receive the treatment it should in your church?
- From Paul's rhetorical questions in 1 Corinthians 12:29-30, what is another problem in this church?
REFLECT:
- Regardless of your church's doctrinal position, what attitudes toward spiritual gifts dominate: (a) For clergy only? (b) For all believers? (c) For the good of others? (d) For the first-century church only? (e) For believers who have a post-conversion experience? (f) More spiritual gifts for the more spiritually mature?
- How do these verses make you feel about your place in the body of Christ? About your need for others?
- Take turns affirming each person in the group with which spiritual gifts and Christ-like qualities you have noticed in them.
