46. 1 Corinthians49. Ephesians
Written By Russ Grinter

Group Guides | Sharing the gospel, sharing our lives (1 Thessalonians 2:8)

By way of introduction: Do you have any special hidden talents you’d like to tell us about?

Read 1 Corinthians 12-13

  1. What is the church situation like in Corinth? (Are they gifted? Are they united? Are they loving each other?)

    (See Chapters 1, 3, 4 of 1st Corinthians)

  2. What are ‘spiritual’ gifts? And why are Christians given these gifts? (See also Ephesians 4:11-16)

  3. Are some gifts more important than others? (Why/Why not?)

  4. How do 1 Corinthians 12-13 & Ephesians 4 shape how we view the different members of Christ’s body, their gifts, and their importance? (Including ourselves)

  5. How does love transform the way we use, and think about, our gifts/talents?

  6. How can you better serve and use the talents God has given you to help our church ‘build itself up in love’ and attain Christ-like maturity? 

Pray in response to God’s word to us about our talents.
