Going Deeper in “What is Your Superpower?”
Read the following a few times:
Rom 12:1-8; Matt 5:16; Mark 10:45; Phil 2:3-4; Eph 2:10
Reflect on the following:
1. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? (Flying, invisibility, super strength, mind reading, time travel, etc.)
2. If your personality were a superpower, what would it be? Encouraging others, Fixing problems, Helping people feel welcome, Teaching or explaining things, etc.
3. In verse 1, Paul urges believers to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice. What do you think that looks like in everyday life?
4. Verse 2 says not to conform to the pattern of this world. What are some patterns of the world that pressure people today?
5. What does it mean to be transformed by the renewing of your mind?
6. How does renewing our minds help us discern God’s will?
7. In verse 3, Paul warns against thinking too highly of ourselves. Why is humility important when we talk about gifts and abilities?
8. Paul says the church to a body with many parts. What does that picture teach us about how Christians are meant to live together?
9. Which of the gifts mentioned stands out to you the most: prophecy, serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leadership, or mercy?
10. What happens to a church or community when people don’t use the gifts God has given them?
11. When have you seen someone use their gifts in a way that blessed others or strengthened the church?
Spiritual Challenges:
1. Discover Your Gift - Spend time this week asking God to reveal how He has uniquely gifted you. Ask a trusted friend or family member what strengths they see in you.
2. Use Your Gift - Find one practical way this week to use your gifts to bless someone—encourage someone, help someone, teach, serve, or give.
3. Renew Your Mind - Each day this week, take five minutes to invite God to shape your thinking through prayer or Scripture, asking Him to transform how you see your life and purpose.
