The audio of the eighteenth message from the SCREWED-UP SAINTS series, “Follow Me As I Follow Him” (1 Cor. 4:14-17) is now online.

Here are the small-group discussion/personal application questions:

Getting to know you: What did you do over the 4th? Any good stories to tell?

Have someone in the group read 1 Corinthians 4.14-17 out loud.

1. Did anything in this message change or clarify the way you think about relationships among Christians? Anything else that was helpful or challenging?

2. What did PB say is the difference between shaming and admonishing someone (verse 14)? Why do you think it’s important to the apostle Paul to make the distinction?

3. What did PB say is probably the main difference between a “guide” and a “father” in Paul’s mind? What’s so important about the distinction between them?

4. Take PB’s application seriously: Who would be on your list of (2 or 3) people you know who are imitating Christ well and who you would want to imitate?

Next Week: “Follow Me As I Follow Him (Part II)” (1 Corinthians 4.15-21)
