Messed Up Church: Gifts That Freak People Out

1 Corinthians 13:1-13, 14:1


Check out the Facebook Live video posted on REVO Church's Facebook page. There may be something discussed in the video that you'd like to talk about as a group.


Discussion Questions:

Would people describe me as "loving" (13:4-7)? Why or why not?

Read Galatians 5:22-23. Which of these 15 characteristics describe me? What ones are lacking?

Read 1 Cor. 13:7-8a. The love that people give tends to be fickle and contingent on many outside things; yet Paul says, "Love never ends" (13:8a). Why is it so hard to love no matter what (13:7)? How can you be a person who is known for perseverance in love?

When you attend REVO, how do you express love for the people that are there?

Read 1 John 3:18. How would you describe the culture of our church? Is it warm and welcoming? If so, can you identify what you have done personally to contribute to this? Today, what commitment will I make to show greater love?


Next Steps:

Think of one person who is hard for you to love. What is one concrete way you can show that person love this week?

What is one specific way you can love the church with your spiritual gifts? How can you serve others in a way that reflects Jesus' loving character?

How will your rGroup love each other better going forward? What are practical steps you can take?
