There could be times when being in a community can be challenging (for example disagreement, discouragement). What are some challenges that you can think of or have personally encountered?
2) In Romans 12:4, the body of Christ is described as many members forming different parts of a body. They serve different functions but are part of one body and belong to one another. How does this image help us to understand God’s idea of the Church?

2) Are there hindrances or fears that keep you from serving? What are they? What encouragement can we get from God’s word and promises?
