If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. If one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness. All of you are Christ’s body, and each one is a part of it.
1 Corinthians 12:12–27
Questions for Life Groups
- Read 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 and this week’s Circuit Rider article titled Us.
- This week, challenge yourself to resist shrinking “us” in practical ways. Listen to voices different from your own without immediately dismissing them. Refuse language that dehumanizes people, even when it comes from leaders or commentators you agree with. Pay attention to who is being excluded, ignored, mocked, or treated as disposable.
- And exercise your right to participate in the life of the community — including voting — not merely as a political act, but as an act of responsibility toward the common good.
- How can your group members help you be more receptive to hearing and understanding the Word of God this week? Pray for one another to be blessed by the Holy Spirit with greater courage.
