Having Gifts, Let Us Use Them: Part 2 (The Church)
**We apologize for the quality of the audio for roughly the first 1 minute and 43 seconds. The audio recording was for that time was lost.**
// Sermon Review Questions //
Read Romans 12:3-8. Perhaps review the context leading up to Romans 12.
1. What were the 4 ways, mentioned by Pastor Ryan, that the church is described in the New Testament?
• The church is a kingdom where Christ reigns. (What is the significance of this?)
• The church is a building, where we are brought close to the Holy One. (What is the significance of this?)
• The church is a marriage, where Jesus pursues a wayward Bride. (What is the significance of this?)
• The church is the very body of Christ, connected to Christ as our head. (What is the significance of this?)
2. The body is a perfect illustration of Christ's church. What were the 3 ways that this was described?
• We are one body in Christ.
• We each have different functions.
• We belong to one another.
// Application/Discussion //
1. Christ reigns over all rulers and authorities on earth. He is infinitely above all other rulers! Where are you struggling to see/believe that Christ is reigning sovereignly right now over the details in your life?
2. The body of Christ has functions that vary from one another. Not all are hands. Not all are the mouth. Not all are feet. How are you currently functioning in the body? What role are you presently filling?
3. We belong to one another. We are "members, one of another..." When we withhold our service from the church, we are robbing the church of our gifts. Are there any roles you believe you ought to be filling with your gifts that you currently aren't? What keeps you from serving the body with your gifts?
May the Lord help these discussions to unleash every single gift (large and small) in service towards one another and ultimately in service to King Jesus, for His great glory.
