Inward, Outward, Upward

I. Inward - A Welcoming People

II. Outward - A Working People

III. Upward - A Worshiping People 

For Further Discussion

•What stands out to you when you hear Paul list so many names at the end of such a theologically rich letter? Why do you think God chose to preserve these names in Scripture?

•In what ways have you personally experienced the church as a spiritual family?

•Where might you need to grow in that? Who might God be calling you to “receive” or honor or pursue within this body?

•What does this tell us about how God uses ordinary people in His mission? What gifts, opportunities, or relationships has God already placed in your life that could be leveraged for kingdom work right now?

•Why is it important that the church’s work ultimately leads upward, not inward or outward alone? What tends to pull your heart away from worship when serving becomes hard or routine?
