屬靈的恩賜知多少? (二) How Much Do We Know Spiritual Gifts? (2)
在教會的每個人都有不同的恩賜為了要合一建立教會。本週，張國強牧師解釋保羅怎樣用一個身體卻有許多肢體作比喻, 解釋屬靈恩賜的真理。
Each of us has a role to play in the collective body of the church, and we are gifted differently so we can all contribute to the church’s growth. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung draws on Apostle Paul’s analogy of one body with many parts to help us better understand spiritual gifts.
Read Today’s Scripture Passage
林前 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share a time when someone used their spiritual gift to help or encourage you. How did it impact you?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. What is the point of the illustration on the different body parts (vv.15-16)? How does it apply to spiritual gifts? How does v.17 fit the illustration?
• What can you learn about stewarding your spiritual gifts from the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Examine yourself: Do you find yourself feeling unimportant or overly important based on the spiritual gifts you have been given? How can you adjust your perspective?
• What motivates you to use your spiritual gifts? Is it to spotlight/glorify yourself? Build others up?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• In what practical ways can you support and appreciate those who serve behind the scenes in the church?
• How can you actively promote unity within the church community using your spiritual gifts?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise God for the unity of the body of Christ and thank Him for baptizing us into one Body through His Spirit. Express your gratitude for the diverse spiritual gifts He has bestowed upon us, each contributing to the building up of His church. Thank Him for the way He has uniquely equipped us to serve one another and glorify His Name.
• Approach the Heavenly Father in repentance for any feelings of envy or pride regarding your spiritual gifts. Ask for forgiveness for the times you have felt unimportant or overly important based on the gifts you possess. Pray that you would recognize the value of each gift and to humbly depend on others as you seek to build up the body of Christ.
