1. In your group, discuss what is necessary to build a house, what is necessary to build a championship caliber sports team, what is necessary in building the Body of Christ? What are the similarities?
2. The Holy Spirit is the giver of spiritual gifts. Read the list of gifts from Rom 12:6-8, 1 Cor 12:8-11, Eph 4:11 / 1Cor 12:28-31. Individually, ask yourself — 1. What are your responsibilities? 2. Where do you find you get your greatest joy? 3. Where do you seem to have the greatest effect? Write down your answers and what you think your spiritual gift might be. As a group share with each other how you “see” each other. Then after the group speaks into your life, share what you personally wrote down.
3. Share in your group and or with a friend experiences of where you got involved in serving in the Body of Christ. Were you in the right place or in the wrong place? What did you discover about yourself?
4. Seek God’s guidance in prayer for where He wants you in the Body of Christ. Ask where and how you can serve and or improve your serve in building up the Body of Christ
5. Take a step of faith this week and get connected to a ministry in your church with a spirit of humility and teachability and see if you complement the ministry and you sense God using you.
