Times with the Lord this week – If you have extra time, look up the cross references with the Transformation Scripture.

                                         #1 - Reviewing this Past Sunday
                                               Membership and Maturity

1. Read the texts Ephesians 2:19-20 and I Timothy 4:6-8 and review Sunday’s message with someone.
2. Share with someone the difference of being in the “family of God” and being part of the “family at MCC”.
3. Do you believe you are more of a “stranger and alien” concerning God’s family or do you truly belong to the Body of Christ?
4. How do you use your time to “train for godliness”?
5. Ask God to show you how you could invest your time with another believer.

                                         #2 - Preparing for Next Sunday
                                              Ministry and Multiplying

1. Read 1 Corinthians 3:5-15.
2. What truths do you observe about ministry here?
3. What does this text make you appreciate about God?
4. Make a list of the ministries you are involved with and the ways you are multiplying. What struggles do you face in these? What joys have you had?
5. Pray for those at MCC involved in ministry and multiplying. Pray that God would raise up many more. Finally, pray for our service tomorrow.
