Building a Wall Together

Building a Wall Together

Imagine yourself and your discussion partner as stones in the wall of the Church of God, each uniquely shaped and contributing her own special beauty and function to the temple. How would you describe the contours of your partner’s gifts?

As part of the temple’s walls, your partner may not be able to see the vital ways in which she is supporting others. How do you see her life currently being used for the edification of the Church?

Morwenna labored with her hands to build the church of Morwenstow, but she and Nectan labored together to build the Church of Cornwall. How can the two of you work together to build Christ’s Church in your own time and place?

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20). Share with your partner a story from your own life when God’s power was revealed precisely at the point where your own abilities had been exhausted. Where has God brought your life back to life?
