God Gives Growth: 1 Corinthians 3:10-23
August 30th 2026

Ice Breakers: What is one completely useless thing you know way too much about?

1. Paul says, “No one can lay a foundation other than…Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). What are you most tempted to build your identity or security upon—your career, grades, family, finances, reputation, politics, or something else? What would it practically look like this week to rest more fully in Christ instead? See Matthew 7:24–27.

2. Paul tells us to “take care” how we build upon the foundation (1 Corinthians 3:10–15). Consider the time, money, abilities, and influence God has given you. Where are you currently investing them in something of lasting spiritual value? Where might you be investing primarily in things that will not last? See Matthew 6:19–21.

3. Our work will one day be tested, including the motives behind it (1 Corinthians 3:13; 4:5). At home, work, school, or church, when are you most tempted to serve in order to be noticed, praised, or respected? What is one good thing you could do quietly this week simply out of love for Christ and others? See Colossians 3:22–24 and Matthew 6:1–4.

4. Paul teaches that believers together are God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16–17). What habits or attitudes in family life, friendships, school, work, or church tend to tear people down or create division? Is there someone you need to encourage, forgive, apologize to, or pursue peace with this week? See Ephesians 4:29–32 and Romans 12:18.

5. God’s wisdom often looks foolish to the world (1 Corinthians 3:18–20). Where do you feel pressure to adopt the values of the people around you—such as achievement, popularity, comfort, self-promotion, or winning at all costs? What might faithfulness to Jesus look like in that situation, even if others do not understand it? See Romans 12:1–2 and Mark 8:34–36.

6. Paul says, “You are Christ’s” (1 Corinthians 3:23). How should belonging to Jesus change the way you approach one ordinary responsibility this week—parenting, marriage, homework, employment, spending, friendship, or caring for your home? Identify one specific action you will take because you belong to Christ. See 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 and Colossians 3:17.
