Family/Group Study Notes for the week of June 09, 2024

Series: Gains and Losses

Title: Holy Minds and Holy Bodies for Unholy People

* When Jesus was wronged, and in conflict, how did he respond to others? When you are in a moment of conflict what are your natural responses? When conflict occurs, where do you go for wisdom on best next steps?

* Read 1 Corinthians 6:1-11. What are some gains and losses in this passage?

* Look at verse 7, what was the real defeat for the Christians?

* How do you want to handle conflict like Jesus handled conflict?

* Read 1 Corinthians 6:12-19. What are some gains and losses in this passage?

* Why does Paul see this as a major issue that needed to be addressed amongst Christians?

* What are some examples of these issues in our society that scriptures would tell us to “flee from?”

* Look at verse 19-20. What does it mean for you to be a temple for God’s spirit? Does this change the way you view yourself?

* How does our God given identity dictate our behavior?

* Give some examples of what a life would look like if someone always made decisions with the mind of Christ, and always used their physical body for Christ over pleasure?

* Pray for one another. Pray for the mind of Christ and for God’s help to live your life as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Pray for anyone struggling to see themselves in these ways.
