You can escape your island of isolation and build the kind of community you've been longing for.

Icebreaker Question: What is something that most people don’t know about you?

Where is it Written?
Compare the lists in Romans 12:6–8, and 1 Corinthians 12:8–10. What differences do you notice between them?

How Goes Your Walk?
How are you using your Spiritual Gifts now? How are you hoping to grow in your use of your gifts?
