DIVE IN QUESTIONS
1. What distinctions do we tend to draw between ourselves and others\u2014whether others in the world or in the church? \xa0How has this passage played into the way we draw those distinctions?\xa0
2. Where are we at in the letter of 1 Corinthians? \xa0Where does Paul\u2019s current train of thought begin and where does it end (hint: think in chapters, not verses)? \xa0What is the overarching concern of that large section and how does/should that guide the way we hear the present passage?
3. In what words, phrases, and verses do you see the idea of \u201cChrist Crucified\u201d lurking in this passage about spiritual mysteries? \xa0What difference does it make to see the crucified Lord in all these places? \xa0How does it change the way one might live?
4. Pastor Anthony mentioned that verse 15 might be about the Spirit only, and not about us: how does that change our understanding of the distinctions we might (or might not) be able to make between ourselves and others? \xa0How does the mind of Christ further enable us to make bridges instead of distinctions?
5. How might the way you live and the things you say be shaped by Christ crucified this week?\xa0
