One Anothering for Everyone (Romans 12:3-13)
Group Guides | Sharing the gospel, sharing our lives (1 Thessalonians 2:8)
By way of introduction: How can we measure, grace?
(Grace = undeserved favour)
Read Romans 12:3-13
1) As we read Romans 12, we see that everything starts by God’s mercy and grace (verse 1, verse 3). Discuss how this reforms what we think of ourselves and others, using the language of this passage.
2) What are the implications of verse 5, that we are ‘members of one another’?
3) ‘Having gifts that differ according to the grace given us…’, what will this mean for our theology-in-practice of “one-anothering”.
4) What would it look like to live–out the one another phrases of verse 10, in our circles of relationships – particularly in the church?
5) Where do we find these things hard?
6) How does Jesus make it possible for to have a ministry of one-anothering?
7) What can fill our prayers, now?
Pray for one another.
Reforming is becoming a teenager, 13 years old!
On the first Sunday in February, 2013, Reforming Church launched with its first service of gathered worship. It was the day of small things, and we rejoiced.
Since then our testimony is that everything we have is a testimony to God’s grace. Even that we could plant a church, even that Reforming still exists as a local church, even that we have the blessings of Reforming House and being a family of God’s precious people. All of this is God’s grace to us.
