Who is the Church? A Thankful People: October 11, 2020
Welcome to St. Paul's Bloor Street! Our vision is a church made alive, a city made new, and a people made whole. Today we're continuing in our sermon series "Who is the Church?" and looking at 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15.
2 Corinthians 9:6-15 NIVUK
Questions to Ponder:
1. Has the pandemic changed Thanksgiving for you this year? If so, how?
2. Why is thankfulness such an important characteristic of Christ-followers?
3. What are some of the things that get in the way of thankfulness for us?
4. Jean Baudrillard wrote that “We now get our meaning in life from what we consume and our identity from the things we buy.” Do you agree or disagree? What effect does this have on thankfulness?
5. How does thankfulness relate to generosity?
6. Paul says in 2 Cor 9:15 that we have been given an “indescribable gift”. What is that gift?
7. How have you seen God providing for your needs over and abundantly?
Closing Prayer:
Loving God, open our ears to hear your word and draw us closer to you, that the whole world may be one with you as you are one with us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
