"The Apostolic Foundation" (1 Corinthians 4:1-7)

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. According to the passage and sermon, what is the function of the “Apostles” in the church? Can there be modern-day apostles, or apostolic ministries?

2. How do most people typically go “above and beyond the truth” as revealed in the Scriptures? How do you “make up” religious ideas and practices as you go along?

3. Who is the final judge over all matters? Who are we (the people/individuals) then to judge the emissary (the “sent one”; the “apostle”) of God? How should we view and respond to the apostolic teachings of the Bible?

4. What was the most helpful/challenging/encouraging part of the sermon for you?
