Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Acts 2: 1-4 and 1 Cor 12: 1-13

From the Sermon:

We have two big questions. The first, what is the ______? and the second, why does the ______ even matter?

On the day of ___________, the day that church was created, all of the people were together in one place.

Our _____  needs to be connected to other human beings in a meaningful way, and when we are in such authentic relationship, even when we are not talking directly to each other, but worshiping together, we are changed.

The ________ grants different people different gifts.

We are the ____________________.

Reflection Questions:

What do we mean when we say that “we are the Church”?

How would you define the Church?

How do you use your gifts from God?

Prayer:

God, we confess that sometimes we have misunderstood the gifts we have received from your Spirit. We have thought that they were about us - about what we have earned or a talent we have. When really the gifts are from you for use in your mission and ministry. Let us boldly use our gifts for your purposes, we pray. Amen.
