Quiet Time—Preteens Private Moments with God (PMG) Where Do I Fit in at Church?

Monday Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-17 What is the body of Christ (the church) made up of? _____________________________ What do all Christians share? ______________________________

1 Corinthians 12:12-31 Level of Biblical Learning: Each believer is given one or more spiritual gifts to do God’s work. Memory Verse: This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his need-how can God’s love reside in him? 1 John 3:16-17 You automatically fit in at church, right? WRONG! Have you ever felt completely out of place at church? Was it the way you dressed, your social class, or even your Bible knowledge? This session will help you learn more about how they can fit in at church by finding a place to serve. Every person is important to God and can be used by God to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Each spiritual gift is important and necessary to the body of Christ. You have a purpose for Christ. YOU can serve Christ!

Tuesday Read 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4:4-6 How are the two passages alike? _______________________________ What additional information is given in Ephesians 4? _________________________________

Wednesday Read 1 Corinthians 12:18-21 In this passage God is comparing the parts of our body to the Body of Christ. Our bodies function better when each part is working properly. When you hurt any part of your body, you realize right away how important that part of your body was and how your body does not function as well without it. That’s how it is in the body of Christ! God gave you gifts and talents that He expects you to use to further His kingdom. People who use their gifts and talents bless the church and help it grow. What can you do to help your church? ___________________________________

Saturday Read 1 Corinthians 12: 22-31 Every believer is an important and necessary member of the body of Christ. Every member of the body of Christ has a purpose to fulfill. No job or church title is more important than another. God equips every believer with gifts and talents. There are places in a church body where a believer’s gifts can be used to further God’s kingdom. God takes joy in the diversity of His people. God uses that diversity for His glory and to promote unity in the body of Christ. What role can you play in serving at First Baptist Church.
