-Several points in this chapter speak of the Corinthians being "arrogant" or "puffed up." What evidence do you see of this? How does this evidence itself in our own lives as servants of Christ?

-What does it mean to be a servant and steward of the gospel message? In what ways would you say you've been faithful in these callings? In what ways do you desire to see growth in your own life?

-How does the principle of judgment in 4:3-5 empower the very faithfulness that we're called to?

-How can your group pray for your own obedience to the calling of this chapter?
