At the end of the parade…. 1 Corinthians 4

This weeks study will be at the usual time 8pm:

Summary of the house group Study

There are many figures in history that have done extraordinary things for the sake of the their Faith. St. Francis of Assissi exhibited this when he walked through Muslim battle lines during crisade times in order to preach to the Sultan of that time. An exibition of redical servanthood for Christ. The “wise” of this current age may not agree…. but do we…..?

GROUP DISCUSSION:

At the turn of the century, Time magazine placed Einstein on the front cover as the person of the century…. and Gandhi on the back in a advertisement. What does that say about our world’s values? How do we are christians need to be different?…..

How do Paul and and is coworkers want to be regarded? …(certainly not hero worship!!)……

 

So why does God request faithfulness from his servants – why is this so important?

 

Thinking of Paul’s view – how could an arrogant Leader use this to pursue their own personal agenda and not God’s true one?

What are the dangers of being separated from being indenpendant of other believes counsel?

Paul feared that the Corinthian’s were moving beyond what was layed out in the scriptures… how does this relate to taking “pride in the one man against another”….

In addition, the Crithians appear to have taken a short cut in their own mids to the Glory that Paul spoke of… How ?

Think of this,if you were one of the Cortinhians of this time , how would Paul’s words affect you and your attitudes?

Finally, look at v16-17: how would you immitating Paul’s way of life require changes in your own thinking and actions?
