1. v 15. What does Paul mean, “household of God” and “church of the living God?” What are some practical applications to this fact? See Hebrews 10:24. Why is watching TV church or cyber church insufficient for the Christian?

2. v 16. How is a “mystery” in scripture different from “mystery” novels or movies? What is Paul suggesting by the term, “mystery of godliness?” What are some of the “mysteries” of God’s plan of redemption?

3. What is mysterious or significant about Christ manifested in the flesh? How is the Holy Spirit involved in the incarnation and resurrection? What is the command and promise in, “preached among the nations” and “believed on in the world?”

4. What is Paul’s main point in reminding us of these mysteries? See 1 Corinthians 10:31.
