Download discussion questions:  1 Corinthians 4_6-21 imitators

How are you like your father?  What positive characteristics do you see?  What traits do you wish were not so much like him?  In this passage Paul compares himself to the Corinthians’ father, and urges them to imitate him.  How much effort did you put into imitating your dad?  What parts of his character did you imitate without even trying?

This week we will look at Paul’s appeal to the church to imitate him.  As you read through the passage, ask what exactly Paul wants them to imitate?  How would the Corinthians (and how should we) go about trying to imitate Paul?
