You’ve Got Spirit: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16
August 16th 2026
Ice Breakers: What is one completely useless thing you know way too much about?
Where are you most tempted to evaluate your life by “the wisdom of this age” rather than the mind of Christ? Think specifically about success, money, parenting, career, grades, relationships, appearance, or reputation. What might change if you viewed that area through Jesus’ values instead? (Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:1–2)*
Paul says that believers have received the Spirit so that we can understand “the things freely given us by God” (1 Cor. 2:12). Which gift of the gospel do you most need to remember right now— forgiveness, Christ’s righteousness, adoption, God’s presence, future resurrection, or something else? How would remembering it change the way you walk into your home, workplace, or classroom this week? *(Romans 8:15–17, 31–32)*
The sermon described the Holy Spirit’s work of illumination—opening our minds and hearts to understand and treasure God’s Word. What does your current habit of reading or hearing Scripture look like? How could you become more intentional about asking the Spirit, “Help me see, understand, believe, and treasure this”? *(Psalm 119:18; Luke 24:45)
If faith in Christ is ultimately the result of God opening someone’s eyes, how should that change the way you relate to an unbelieving family member, coworker, classmate, or friend? Is there someone you’ve been tempted to argue with, give up on, or become frustrated with whom you need to begin praying for more intentionally? (2 Corinthians 4:4–6; Colossians 4:2–6)
Paul’s teaching leaves no room for spiritual pride: if you see the beauty of Jesus, it is because God graciously opened your eyes. Where are you tempted to feel spiritually superior to someone else? How would remembering grace change the way you speak to or about that person? *(Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:3–5)
Paul ends by saying, “We have the mind of Christ.” Think about one decision, conflict, worry, or relationship you are dealing with right now. What would it look like to ask, *“How does Jesus see this? What does Jesus value here? What response would look wise to Him?”* What is one concrete thing you could do differently this week because you belong to Christ? (Philippians 2:3–8; James 3:13–18)*
