We explore 1 Corinthians 12 and discover how we are better when we are together.

For Personal Reflection/Small Group Study

• • Think about a time when you were a part of a team or group in which everyone was only out for themselves.
    • What was that like? What was difficult about that? Why
  • What role has community played in your own discipleship? Why? Be specific.

• • In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus was tempted by Satan with three things: comfort, acclaim, and power.
    • Of these three, is there one that is more tempting than the others?
    • How does your involvement (or lack of involvement) in community affect your temptations?

• • Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
    • Verses 14-18 deal with a spiritual inferiority complex. Why might someone feel like their role in the church “is not important’? What roles come to mind here? Why?
    • Verses 19-21 deal with a spiritual superiority complex. Why might someone feel like their role is “more important” than someone else’s? What roles come to mind here? Why?
    • What role do you play at WestWay? Is it important? Why or why not? How do Paul’s words challenge your answer?
    • What is Paul saying in verses 22-27

• What would WestWay be like if everyone were only focused on themselves and their ministry area or area of service? Why? would you want to be a part of that? Why or Why not?
