  1. Read 1 Corinthians 1:1\u20133. What surprises you about the way Paul describes this church, given all the problems they had?<\/li>\n
  2. In what ways do you see \u201cmessiness\u201d in the modern church or in your own life? How does it encourage you that God still calls messy people to be \u201csaints\u201d?<\/li>\n
  3. Paul says the Corinthians were \u201cenriched in everything\u201d and lacked no spiritual gift. Where have you seen churches or believers be \u201cgifted but messy,\u201d and what can we learn from that?<\/li>\n
  4. How has God\u2019s grace worked in your life recently\u2014not just to forgive you, but to equip and strengthen you for service?<\/li>\n
  5. Read 1 Corinthians 1:8\u20139. What do these verses say about God\u2019s role and our role in staying faithful to the end?<\/li>\n
  6. When you think about your own failures, what does it mean to you that God is faithful to finish what he starts? How does that change the way you respond when you sin or fall short?<\/li>\n
  7. Where do you see \u201cdivision\u201d or relational fracture in your own relationships or church experience (1 Corinthians 1:10)? How might remembering God\u2019s faithfulness and grace help bring healing?<\/li>\n
  8. What is one concrete step you can take this week to cooperate with God\u2019s faithful work in you\u2014whether in dealing with sin, using your gifts, or pursuing unity in the body?<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
