Living With Passion - Learning All You Can
IceBreaker: What happened when you traveled to a place where you didn't know the language?

Search & Learn - Acts 2:  42They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.... (CEV)
1. What did the 3000 original converts at this time end up doing?

Spiritual Diet Check -- 1 Corinthians 3:  1My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That's why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned. 2So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot, 3because you are not yet spiritual. (CEV)
2. How did Paul contribute to the welfare of the church in Corinth?

Loving Others - 1 Corinthians 13: 1What if I could speak all languages of humans and of angels? If I did not love others, I would be nothing more than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2What if I could prophesy and understand all secrets and all knowledge? And what if I had faith that moved mountains? I would be nothing, unless I loved others. (CEV)
3. Who is Paul thinking of and what is his main point in these verses?

Service - 1 Peter 4: 10Each of you has been blessed with one of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well. (CEV)
4. How does the reality of Christ's glory and kindness influence your daily behavior?

Community - Colossians 3: 16Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. (NLT)
5. What confirms that all close relationships are to be built around Christ?

Obedience - 1 Corinthians 2: 13Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people. 14That's why only someone who has God's Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn't have God's Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish. 15People who are guided by the Spirit can make all kinds of judgments, but they cannot be judged by others. 16The Scriptures ask, "Has anyone ever known the thoughts of the Lord or given him advice?" But we understand what Christ is thinking. (CEV)
6. How does Paul say that the truth of the gospel (or good news) is discovered?

Evangelism - John 15: 26I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help you and will tell you about me. 27Then you will also tell others about me, because you have been with me from the beginning. (CEV)
7. Describe the way Jesus wanted the disciples and us to relate to the world.
