DISCUSSION GUIDE 2.In order to serve others why is it necessary to not be conformed to this world? (v. 2) This world is self-serving and people can be selfish, we are to be servants of others.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 3.What analogy does Paul use to describe a group of believers? (Romans 12:4) Paul suggests that a group of Christians is like a human body.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 4.In verse 3 Paul says that believers should not think of themselves more highly than they ought. What fact should keep one Christian from feeling superior or inferior to another? (Romans 12:4) Paul says that since Christians are like a body we all belong to one another and need one another.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 5.How are believers different from one another? In what ways should all believers be alike? (Romans 12:6) Believers have different gifts according to the grace given by God. Believers should be alike because each believer should be using their God- given gifts, no matter what gifts they possess.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 6.What gifts does Paul list? (Romans 12:6-8) Paul lists the following gifts: a.Prophesying b.Serving c.Teaching d.Encouraging e.Contributing to the needs of others f.Leadership g.Mercy

DISCUSSION GUIDE 7.Which of these gifts do you possess? Are you using your gifts?

DISCUSSION GUIDE 8.According to Paul, what is the purpose of spiritual gifts? (Ephesians 4:12-13) According to Paul, spiritual gifts are used to: a.Prepare God’s people for works of service b.Build up the body of Christ c.So that we all might become mature believers

DISCUSSION GUIDE 9.For the believer what common element exists between the diversity of gifts, service and working? (1 Corinthians 12:4-6) The common element in this diversity is the fact that God is at work in all of them.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 10.To whom has God given spiritual gifts? For what purpose are they given? (1 Corinthians 12:7) God has given spiritual gifts to all believers. They are given for the common good.

DISCUSSION GUIDE 11.Do you have a spiritual gift? What is it? How effectively are you using it? What is “the common good?”

DISCUSSION GUIDE 12.What is your spiritual gift? What happens when believers do not use their spiritual gifts? If you do not know what your spiritual gift is how can you find out?
