Below are some questions to help you and your household reflect on the sermon:

Paul says that while "all things are lawful," not all are "helpful." Can you think of a personal habit or behavior that might be technically "permissible," but isn’t actually "helpful" in living out your faith or serving others?
Read 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. Paul reminds us that our bodies are the temple, a place for God to dwell and bring good news to others. How does this idea change the way we think about our physical and emotional health, and our relationships with others?
We were "bought with a price" and therefore belong to God. What are some specific actions we can take this week to use our bodies and our lives to serve others and bring them good news, rather than just serving ourselves?
Paul encouraged the Corinthians to "flee from sexual immorality." Beyond the obvious, what are some of the more subtle ways that selfishness or a desire for control can creep into our relationships, and how can we work to be more selfless and honoring to each other?

Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:

Where have we been guilty of division, whether in our church, family, or other communities?
Read 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. Paul chose to address the sin of division before other sins. Why do you think he saw division as such a foundational and serious problem for the church?
Read 1 Corinthians 3. Paul says that those who plant and water are "nothing" and that only God gives the growth. How does this perspective challenge our human tendency to take pride in our own work or the leaders we follow?
How can we shift our focus from being "right" to being servants?
