This week’s questions are guest written by Tim Cruser. Thanks for taking the time to do this Tim!
1. Read 1 Cor 12; 1 Ptr 4:10-11; Rom 12:5-8; Eph 4:11-12. Are there any of those gifts you had not expected to see, or did not think of as gifts?
2. How would you compare the exercise of your spiritual gifts to the functioning of a community? Of a family?
3. Have you ever taken a spiritual gifts assessment? What do you think are your gifts? What do you believe are the gifts of others in this group?
4. Read 1 Ptr 4:8; Rom 12:9; Rom 13:8-10; 1 Cor 13.
5. What do all these scriptures have in common? What do they have to do with the exercise of gifts? Why do you think both Paul and Peter thought this was so important?
6. Re-read 1 Ptr 4:10. What does the exercise of your gifts demonstrate?
7. If we don’t administer God’s gift of grace, who will?
8. In our church, our family units are our Journey Groups.
9. What do you think it takes to lead a Journey Group?
10. Would you be willing to lead a Journey Group? What would keep you from taking this step? Would you be willing to pray about leading a group and then go to one of the sessions the next 2 weeks and train for it?
11. If you believe that you might be willing and gifted to lead a group, what can we do to help you?
