SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
What is your favorite team of all time?
What are the major advantages to being on team as opposed to being solo?

GOING DEEPER IN THE WORD TOGETHER
Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
The apostle Paul talks about certain parts of the body that may seem less desirable. Why are all the parts of equal importance? What happens when we are missing a part?
How do we encourage those people on the team who may have less public roles?
Paul challenges this church to think as a team and not as individuals. Why do we tend to struggle to think this way?
Paul shows them how each body part playing it’s role helps each part live up to it’s intended purpose. What does this tell us about our purpose here on Earth?
Do you think we struggle to challenge one another to truly live up to our intended purpose? Why?
In what ways do we help, or see others helping, every part of our body (team) play the role they were intended to play?
