What happens when you see things from a distorted perspective? How does our perspective affect our Christian life? In today’s passage, Paul helps us to get a balanced perspective in several areas of our lives.
How do you properly evaluate your pastor? Is it ok to evaluate him? Is it something that we SHOULD do? If we do evaluate the pastor, what is the basis for which we evaluate him?
How much of what I am doing is going to last after I’m gone? Have you ever wondered that? Paul uses the picture of a building to show us the lasting impact of using the right materials to build the church.
God has a beautiful garden. And he has people to help in His garden. Are you one of God’s helpers? More importantly, are you growing in His garden?
Are there ways to tell whether our church is growing spiritually? What about different people in our church family? What about you? Paul teaches us how we can grow as a church family, as well as individually.
Can we know what God is thinking? And if we can, how does God make it possible for us to know His thoughts?
God displays His wisdom not only in His amazing plan for those who love him, but also in how He chose to reveal that great mystery to us.
What do you need to be an effective messenger of the Gospel? Paul tells us what we don’t need, as well as what we do need to display God’s glory in our delivery of the Gospel.
What kind of people does God use to display His power and wisdom in their lives? What is the purpose for why He chooses them?
