Table Conversations for Digging Deeper
1. Read Ephesians 4:1-16. How would you describe the life God calls us to live?
2. This passage tells us that we each have a special gift of grace. Can you identify your own gift? Read these passages on spiritual gifts, knowing that the lists are probably not exhaustive. Make a list of gifts and giftings that show up in: 1 Corinthians 12:1-10; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Romans 12:6-8; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Peter 4:9-10; Exodus 31:3 (craftsmanship); 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (Prayer/intercession); Psalm 150:3-5 (Creative Communication). What gifts are of interest to you? Ask others what gifts they think they see in you.
3. Read 4:11-12. God’s gift to the church is people, and that includes you. What are we supposed to do with gifts?
4. Read 1 Corinthians 12:20 – 13:3. What does love have to do with it?
5. The purpose of a gift is to grow to maturity in Christ and build the body. In what way(s) is your giftedness helping to do that?
6. In what ways can you use your gifts to reach others for Christ?
