Looking Ahead: Q's for Gathering 2/22 & Equipping recap

GATHERING: Q'S for next Sunday February 22

Message: That Day: the Bema Seat (Will Rutt)

Text: I Corinthians 3:9-17

Context: The quality of our discipleship will be revealed in the "bema" or believer's judgment. In this passage, Paul covers foundation, materials, inspection and warning.

1. Relatable: Have you ever hastily done something - an assignment or project - and later (when tested) regretted it? Or the opposite - taken good time to confirm the foundation - which made everything go better later? Tell that story...

2. Text: Read I Corinthians 3:9-17. Don't rush. What stands out?

3. V9: Paul sets up the analogy to come - what is the main point here?

4. V10-11: How did Paul "lay a foundation"? Who else is building?

5. V12-15: Summarize Paul's warning in your own words. What does he say is the cost of careless building? What might that look like in real life?

6. V16-17: What is the warning Paul gives to careless builders?

7. Growth: What is a key application you take from this passage / message?

8. Prayer
