1. Where do you see yourself right now on Paul’s spectrum: natural, spiritual, or carnal (infant in Christ), and what evidence from your daily life points that way?
  2. Paul showed that “milk vs. meat” is not two different doctrines but two different depths of receiving the same gospel; how have you experienced the cross of Christ becoming “deeper” over time?
  3. In what practical ways do jealousy, strife, and “party spirit” still show up in churches today (favorite preachers, styles, politics), and how can your group guard against that?
  4. When you think about “building on the foundation of Christ,” what in your life looks like gold/silver/precious stones, and what might be more like wood/hay/straw that won’t survive the fire?
  5. How does knowing that your church family together is God’s temple (not just the building) change the way you think about gatherings, conflicts, and commitments?
  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?
  7. “Let no one boast in men… all are yours, and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” How would your joy and security change if you really believed that everything you need is already yours in Christ?
  8. What is one concrete step you can take this week to “grow up,” “build well,” or “live as God’s temple”—and how can this group pray for you and help you follow through?
