How does it help us better understand the function of each of our church’s programs (Corporate Worship, Sunday School, Life Groups, Student/Children’s Ministries, Men’s/Women’s Ministries, etc.)?
- How does Paul, not only here but throughout his New Testament writings, offer an example for how we should live with open lives toward one another? What are some of the greatest hindrances to that, and how can neglecting this affect the community we share?
- How does intentional life in the body help us to grow in peace, love, faith, and grace, and how does it offer the opportunities to measure how we are growing in those areas? How can a lack of intentional life in the body stunt or inhibit growth in these areas?
