Our sermon-based small group meets at the church every Wednesday evening at 6:00. Everyone is welcome! Check out the questions below to see what we'll be discussing at small group this week on 9/18:

The 5 Talents / Shawn Lind / Matthew 25:14-30  (Click HERE to watch sermon)

Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-7   "There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other."

2. Is everyone given gifts from God? 

3. Who should benefit from our gifts? 

4. What does it mean for us to be faithful stewards of the gifts and resources that God has entrusted to us?

5. How can fear and a warped perception of God hinder us from using our talents effectively? Do you experience fear when trying to share your faith with others?

6. How can we move from being bystanders or spectators to players on the field, actively participating in furthering God's kingdom and living out our faith in tangible ways? Levels talked about bystanders, fans in the stadium, on the Field, and a player in the game.

7. In what ways can we discern and grow in using the valuable talents and resources that God has given us, for the benefit of others and for His glory?

8. What steps can we take to overcome fear, comparison, and laziness in order to fully engage in using our gifts and abilities for the advancement of God's kingdom and the well-being of others?

9. How can we align our actions with the teachings of Jesus, not just in beliefs but in lifestyle and practice, in order to truly be His disciples and reflect His love to the world around us?
