1 Corinthians 4:14-23

•	In these verses Paul sets out how he wants the Corinthians to view his rebukes.  He wants them to see him as a father.  List the fatherly aspects of his behaviour here (avoiding simply repeating the list in the sermon).
•	How does this challenge our modern images of fatherhood?
•	What experiences have you had – good and bad – of paternal relationships?  What is most attractive to you about Paul’s description of his fatherly example?
•	How can we help young men to develop the characteristics of a Christian man?  What are the particular hindrances?
