1Corinthians 8

v1-3:

• Are there times when you feel “better than”? That is, more spiritual or more godly than others…maybe when you see other struggling with sin or bad habits or ignorance of God’s will? What are some ways you could demonstrate God’s love toward them instead?

V4-13:

• There are always people around us who are struggling in some way or another. Perhaps because they believe a certain food is ungodly (some vegetarians can be very religious about their food) or they are subject to compulsions related to certain foods or drink (chocoholics, alcoholics). This may not be as big an issue for us as with food offered to idols in Paul’s day, but his admonition to be considerate can still have impact around us. Can you think of any people you know who are struggling in such a way that you could support them by your behavior or by abstaining from something in their presence?
