A kingdom man does not just attend church — he serves, contributes, and builds it up. This week examines the often-uncomfortable question of whether you are a consumer or a contributor in the body of Christ.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Evans points to the alarming reality that many churches are predominantly female in active membership and leadership while men sit on the sidelines. Why do you think so many men are disengaged from the local church? What makes genuine church involvement feel unappealing or optional to men?
2.Hebrews 10:24–25 commands believers not to give up meeting together but to 'spur one another on.' Evans argues that a kingdom man treats church not as a place he goes but as a body he belongs to and is responsible for. What is the difference between attending church and belonging to a church?
3.1 Corinthians 12 uses the metaphor of a body to describe the church — every member has a function, and no function is dispensable. What is your specific role in the body of your local church? Are you actively exercising it, or are you sitting on the bench?
a.If your current church involvement reflects what Evans calls 'kingdom man' engagement, describe it. If it doesn't, what would need to change?
b.What gifts do you bring to the body that are currently underutilized?
