ICEBREAKER
We’re discussing a series called “New Year. New You.” And, it’s all about “Strengthening your core for a healthier life” meaning your spiritual core, your Identity in Christ. Today we’re talking about the principle “You Are Gifted.” 

REVIEW & DISCUSS
Do you ever feel like you’re just not talented, gifted, or equipped enough to do something? Share examples.

Read Romans 12:4-8. What is Paul trying to teach us by using the metaphor of the body?

What are some examples of how people can use the gifts that Paul lists in this passage?

This list is not exhaustive. What are some other ways that people are gifted and can use them to serve others? 

If you feel like you know each other well enough, share with each other what giftedness you see in one another.

TAKEAWAY
What gift has God given you that you are not using to its full potential right now?

​Who else in your life do you need to encourage with an affirmation of their giftedness?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion about encouraging one another. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.
