Group Discussion Guide: I Am Series

Pastor Christopher Miller

Part 4 – I Am

May 3rd, 2026 (1 Corinthians 15:1–10) 

Key Points: 

1. By the Grace of God, You Are A Partaker Of His Divine
Nature, and His Grace toward You Was Not in Vain! 

2. By the Grace of God, You Have the Mind of Christ, and His
Grace toward You Was Not in Vain! 

3. By the Grace of God, You Can Be Assured that All Things
Will Work for Your Good, and His Grace toward You Was Not in Vain!

Discussion:

1. The sermon stresses that we become partakers of God’s divine nature through embracing His great promises by speaking and believing them. How intentional are you about declaring God’s promises over your life?
Share a promise you have claimed (or need to claim more boldly) and how it has
(or could) shape your daily walk.

2. Paul says, “we have the mind of Christ.” The message highlights how leaning on the Holy Spirit’s mind instead of our own can protect us from bad decisions and fleshly thinking. In what area of your life right now do you most need the mind of Christ? How can you practically invite the Holy Spirit to renew your thinking in that area?

3. Romans 8 reminds us that the Holy Spirit helps in weakness, intercedes for us, and works all things together for good. When have you seen God turn difficulties into good in your life or someone else’s? How does this truth encourage you to stay steadfast when facing current challenges?

Part 5 – I Am

May 17th, 2026 (1 Corinthians 15:1–10) 

Key Points: 

1. By the Grace of God, You Are Free from Condemnation, and
His Grace toward You Was Not in Vain! 

2. By the Grace of God, You Are the Righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus, and His Grace toward You Was Not in Vain! 

3. By the Grace of God, You Will Be Victorious in Christ,
and His Grace toward You Was Not in Vain!

Discussion:

1. Pastor Christopher distinguishes between the devil’s condemnation and the Holy Spirit’s conviction. How have you experienced the difference between these two in your own life? What practical steps can help you reject condemnation while remaining open to godly conviction?

2. Because of Christ’s finished work, we are now the righteousness of God in Him. How does understanding this identity, instead of being defined by your past failures, change the way you relate to God and to others? Share an area where this truth needs to take deeper root in your heart.

3. The message declares that weapons may form but they will not prosper, and we are destined for victory in Christ. How does this promise speak to any “fiery trials” or ongoing battles you are facing? What would it look like for you to remain “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” right now?
