Beyond the 52: The Blessing of “Community”

1. Is there anything in particular that challenged you from this message?

2. Reading I Cor. 12:4-7, 11, 18, 24; Eph. 4:4,7, 11; Rom. 12:6; I Cor. 12:7; etc., we clearly see that God has designed community. What do we learn from that, and what challenges/objections does it overcome as we pursue community?

3. Read Rom. 12;16; 15:5-6; 16:17; II Cor. 13:11; Eph. 4:1-7; 31; Phil. 1:27; 2:1-4; I Thes. 5:13; James 3:13-18; I Pet. 3:8-9. What do these passages teach us to expect, and about how to react, in regard to relational challenges with our brothers and sisters?

4. How have you benefitted from community in the past, and why/how does that motivate you to pursue it now?
