Discussion QuestionsChoose the questions for your group; no pressure to use all of them.This week we’re talking about getting in the game and serving on a team. What is one of your favorite teams that you have been a part of, either currently or while growing up?What’s something you’ve watched or attended (concert, game, performance, etc.) where you thought, “That looks like so much fun; I want to try that”? What held you back or pushed you forward?Read 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. How does it change your perspective to know that God often chooses those the world overlooks?Your personality, experiences (even the painful ones), and talents are part of your equipping. How might God want to use something from your past to help someone else?Read 1 Corinthians 7:17. How does it impact you to realize your current placement (job, neighborhood, school, family, etc.) is not random but a divine assignment?Have you ever viewed your workplace, home, or school as a mission field? What could it look like to “play your position” faithfully in that space?Read Romans 12:4–8. Which of the listed spiritual gifts do you see in yourself? Which ones do others affirm in you?Jeff shared examples of people using their gifts, like his wife Christy in children’s ministry or a businessman with the gift of giving. What’s an area at church or in the community where you could serve or lead more intentionally?Where do you currently find yourself: in the stands, on the sidelines, or on the field? What is one specific next step you sense God prompting you to take?Spend a few minutes praying together, thanking God for calling and equipping each person, asking him to clarify individual roles and placements, and inviting him to reveal the “next step” for each person to get in the game.Verse to meditate on and memorize this week:Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)Put It into Practice (Between Meetings)Reflect on your unique calling: Set aside 15-30 minutes in a quiet place. Read 1 Corinthians 1:1-2 and 1:26-29 slowly, and journal your answers to the following questions: What do I feel called to? Where am I doubting my calling? Where might God be nudging me out of the stands and onto the field? Ask God to speak into your identity and assignment.Discover or rediscover how God has equipped you: Take a reputable spiritual gifts inventory (such as www.giftstest.com/test). Then reflect on how you can use those gifts in the church and in everyday life, and pray for God to show you how to take the next step.Consider joining a Dream Team: Get in the game by checking out these opportunities to serve and together change our world for good. “Where I’m Placed” Prayer Walk: Take a walk through your neighborhood, school campus, or workplace. As you walk, pray for your neighborhood, workplace, or school as a mission field, for the people you encounter or think of, and for opportunities to represent Jesus well.Would you like to receive this Group Guide via email each week?
