  2. Can one have ministry without proclamation of the gospel? Why or why not?
  3. What place does the church have in Paul’s ministry? In God’s plan?
  4. How is the church a demonstration of God’s manifold wisdom?
  5. Is the church optional for a Christian? Why or why not?
  6. How does Paul’s attitude in this passage about the church set an example for how we should view and interact with the church?
