WELCOME TO CHURCH: A Call to Unity

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS Read 1 Cor. 1:10-17. What is God’s Word saying to you? What stands out to you in this passage? From the passage above, what was the issue that they were fighting over? Have you seen that same issue in the church over the last few decades? Or anything close to it? Explain. Read Eph. 4:1-6. “You’re on the same team,” was a big point in the sermon. Why is it so difficult to remember this in moments of conflict? Who is your real enemy? Is it your friends and family? Is it fellow believers? If not, how can you transfer your anger and indifference away from them, and onto your real enemy? What is your common identity and purpose with other disciples of Jesus? Read James 4:1. What would you specifically say makes you quarrel the most? (What triggers you or makes you most mad so that you fight?) In John 17, when Jesus was praying in the garden just before he went to the cross, his #1 prayer for His followers was that they would be one. That they would be unified. Clearly... this is VERY important to Jesus. What are a few practical ways you can pursue unity with other believers? Close in prayer asking that God would unify your Together group, our church, our marriages, our families, and our friends. And that God would use each of us in doing this!
