Take it Deeper Questions:
Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.
What is your favorite part of your body? Why?
What makes the human body unique or amazing to you?
What is one body part you couldn’t live without? What is one you could?
If you need every part of your body participating to be whole, what does that say about the church needing every person to participate to be whole?
What can happen to a church if every part of the body decides to take instead of serve one another?
How can we change our perspective from consumer to participant?
Who can you invite to grow in their participation in the body? How will you? When will you?
