Q2) What's good about about being different? What's difficult?

What does the Bible say about difference? 

• God has given each of us different gifts.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. (Romans 12:6-8)

• It’s God’s design for us to work together to show his love.

Christ makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. (Ephesians 4:16)

Discussion Questions

1. Why do you think God gave us all different gifts?
2. Think about a time you have had to work in a team (e.g. a sport team, music band, leadership team). Why was working together important?
3. Why is acting with love important when we work together?
