Buildling God’s Way
November 8, 2009 · Filed Under Sermon Study Guides
1 Corinthians 3:10-23
- According to this passage what should you consider as you build into God’s church?
- In addition and more specifically, how do we build in ways that are not perishable? (think of specific and individual ways)
- What other foundations do some people try to lay for the church? Can you think of examples where a wrong foundation has been laid and what the consequence has been?
- Share some ideas about how you can effectively communicate and gather support for the $100 challenge as a means of helping Lifeline obtain a permanent facility.
- Look closely at vs. 13-17. What is the difference between the person in vs. 15 whose work is burned up and the one in vs. 17 who is destroyed? (regarding the word used for “destroyed” you might look at the other NT uses: 1 Cor. 15:33; 2 Cor. 7:2; 11:3; Eph. 4:22; 2 Pt. 2:12; Jude 1:10; Rev. 19:2)
- Pay attention to vs. 17, how is the church at large viewed by people who attend it? How is Lifeline viewed? How ought it to be viewed? What does this mean for your actions as part of the church?
- What does Paul mean in vs. 21-23? In what sense are “all things” yours? Why does he speak this way to them? What are the implications of this for the things he mentioned (world, life, death, present, future)? How do these things oppress us?
- Pray that God would help you be a good builder at Lifeline. Pray that we would treat the church as holy/set apart? Pray for our $100 challenge.
