Weekly Warm-up:

Each person must choose one body part to be and defend their choice.

Have you ever had a body part out of commission?

How did the rest of the body feel about it?

Weekly Overview:

No man (or woman) is an island regardless of how independent we might want to be.  We need each other.  We were designed to work, live and play in groups.  We are born into families.  We learn from an early age in our families how to interact with others to accomplish goals beneficial to the group.  God put us in churches for the same reason.  We are to love one another, work together and take care of each other not so we gain some individual prize but so that the whole church is accomplishing its task of being the bride of Christ.

Weekly Discussion Questions:

Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Which part of your physical body do you love the most?
