Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. Acts 17:28 For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’. Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. ACTIVITY × × Which parts of God’s personality do you tend to emphasize more? Which parts of Him do you tend to neglect and how do you see this play out in your relationship with Him? 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 [12] For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. [13] For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. [14] For the body does not consist of one member but of many. [15] If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 [16] And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? [18] But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 [19] If all were a single member, where would the body be? [20] As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. [21] The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” ” [22] On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, [23] and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 [24] which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, [25] that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. [26] If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. ACTIVITY × × Which personality types or parts of the body do you look at as more valuable and which types weaker? How has that played out in the kind of community you have pursued? Hebrews 10:24-25 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Encouraging One Another Our attitudes and actions toward one another should be a result of the gospel in our lives. You must intentionally consider the unique make-up and needs of others. • How do they receive encouragement? • What are their needs and desires? • How do they communicate?

What is the encouragement style you tend towards when encouraging others? TODD’S CONFLICT VERSES Share about some recent conflict that you have experienced that might be connected to personality and communication. What are some things you want your cohort to know about how you handle conflict? ACTIVITY × × Share about some recent conflict that you have experienced that might be connected to personality and communication. What are some things you want your cohort to know about how you handle conflict? Hebrews 3:12-14 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. Tools for Exhorting × Identify places places where others are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. × Have relational integrity in your communication × Have compassion. × Have humility. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:11-13 ESV) × Redefine success.
