Week 3 Title –Consumer vs Contributor
1. Why is it so easy to treat the church like a "hospital for spiritual symptoms" rather than an "equipping base" for ministry?
2. Consider this phrase from Sunday's message: "We often fit church into our schedules" rather than "fitting our schedules into church." What is one practical area where your "hobby schedule" or personal time conflicts with your desire to contribute?
3. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. The text says a spiritual gift is given to each of us. If you had to identify one gift or talent you have (encouragement, building, teaching, creative, etc.), how could that be used specifically to help others in the church?
4. What is one "God-given gift" you’ve been sitting on that you feel challenged to start using "well to serve one another" this month?
5. According to Ephesians 4:11-12 ESV, what is the actual job of the pastors/leaders, and what is the job of "the saints" (the congregation)?
