At the Evening Gathering, Bryony Wells carries on with 1 Corinthians 16 as we continue to look at a message for the big city church and explore this year’s theme, Join Us in Building Community.

Bible base: 1 Corinthians 16:10-14

Cell questions

1. Re-read the passage, why do you think Paul writes what he does about Timothy and Apollos? What issues is he addressing?
2. We’ve spent a year exploring the Corinthian church, from what you know about them what were some of the biggest challenges for them in following Paul instruction to be ‘on guard’ and ‘stand firm’?
3. In our generation and culture what do you think the biggest challenges are for us to ‘be on our guard’ and ‘standing firm’?

Application

Where do you need to be on guard and watchful at the moment? How will you do this?
