When we think about ourselves or others what is the normal way we make judgements? How should we make a proper evaluation of ourselves?
Does everyone have ‘gifts’? Why is it important that we use the gifts we have?
Discuss the kinds of things we might think of as gifts within the church.
If you don’t have a certain listed gift, does that mean you don’t have to do that thing? For example, giving or encouragement or kindness. Discuss this as a group and decide why.
As well as using our gifts to build each other up, in the sermon we discussed the need to be there for one another; be accountable to one another; look out for one another. Talk each of these through and discuss where as church we might need to ‘up our game’…

Read From Romans 11:33 to 12:2 from as many different translations as you have in the group;
What is causing Paul to urge/beg his hearers in verse one? What should our reaction be?
What does it mean to be a living sacrifice, and what is it that we are to offer?
How might we be conformed to the world, and what is the effect?
How can we be transformed, and what is the benefit?

I was privileged to Join Mike Hutchinson in conversation around the issue of tolerance, or lack of, in the UK.

Navigating the world of Christian faith and practice can be difficult. Every Wednesday, join Mike Hutchinson, a long-time student of Christian theology, as he interviews guests who are expert guides to Christianity, theology, and the historic Reformed faith. Whether you’re just interested in learning about Christianity, you’re a new Christian, you’re new to Reformed theology, or you’re a long-time student of theology yourself, this is the podcast to help you think biblically and think deeply about theology.
