1. Warm-up: Can you give examples of the failure to act as a team from the world of sports, business, or church? What caused it? What were the results? {Please be careful using names if known by others}
2. In the message Bill gave several scenarios that can develop among teams. They are listed below. Give your thoughts on each of them and how it plays out.
- The coach plays alone.
- The players run onto the field, but stay in the huddle.
- The team breaks out of the huddle, but then stands around and argues.
- The team lines up, but they have no equipment.
- The team teams around.
3. Looking at Eph.4:1-6 we find 5 characteristics needed for a team to work together. What are they and how do they play into the mix?
4. Bill gave several good reasons why these different gifts (Verses 7-8) are so important. {Keeps body balanced. Keeps body healthy. Keeps body’s focus clear.} How do you see these working in conjunction with the function of the church?
5. {Note to leader: you will need the sermon notes from this message to answer this question}. What was it about the Corinthian church that stands out as an example to us and A WARNING TO US TO AVOID?
