  1. Where do you see yourself right now on Paul\u2019s spectrum: natural, spiritual, or carnal (infant in Christ), and what evidence from your daily life points that way?<\/li>\n
  2. Paul showed that \u201cmilk vs. meat\u201d is not two different doctrines but two different depths of receiving the same gospel; how have you experienced the cross of Christ becoming \u201cdeeper\u201d over time?<\/li>\n
  3. In what practical ways do jealousy, strife, and \u201cparty spirit\u201d still show up in churches today (favorite preachers, styles, politics), and how can your group guard against that?<\/li>\n
  4. When you think about \u201cbuilding on the foundation of Christ,\u201d what in your life looks like gold\/silver\/precious stones, and what might be more like wood\/hay\/straw that won\u2019t survive the fire?<\/li>\n
  5. How does knowing that your church family together is God\u2019s temple (not just the building) change the way you think about gatherings, conflicts, and commitments?<\/li>\n
  6. Paul warns that God will destroy those who destroy His temple; what does this say about the seriousness of false teaching and divisive behavior, and how should a local church respond wisely and lovingly?<\/li>\n
  7. \u201cLet no one boast in men\u2026 all are yours, and you are Christ\u2019s, and Christ is God\u2019s.\u201d How would your joy and security change if you really believed that everything you need is already yours in Christ?<\/li>\n
  8. What is one concrete step you can take this week to \u201cgrow up,\u201d \u201cbuild well,\u201d or \u201clive as God\u2019s temple\u201d\u2014and how can this group pray for you and help you follow through?<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
