Message:    Unity through Agreement - Part V

Scripture:   Ephesians 4:11-16

 

1) What makes you feel included in a community? What makes you feel excluded? How does a thriving community protect from becoming an exclusive community. Do you find it challenging to love the church while still loving and reaching out to the people who are not a part of the church?

2) Read 1 Corinthians 3:4-9. What was happening in the Corinthian church? How did the Apostle Paul respond to their challenges? How does the unity of Paul and Apollos serve the mission of Christ Jesus?

3) Pastor Joseph shared that the mission of the body of Christ is both within and outside of the four walls of the church. “We must grow in unity as a church while still reaching the world outside of the church.” As a group, list 5-7 ways that the body of Christ can serve both within and outside of the four walls of the church. How can you personally improve fellowship at Mars Hill and contribute to the overall mission of furthering God’s message continuing to spread?

4) Read John 21:15-17. What did Jesus expect of Peter? How does a passionate love for God transform how we accomplish the mission and work of the church?

5) The fourth instruction that Pastor Joseph shared was that we must love the work of the church. The work of the church can often be messy. How do you remain committed to the work of the church when the work gets messy? How can we encourage one another in the body of Christ? Read Galatians 6:9.

6) 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 reminds us that we are Christ’s ambassador. Think about some of the places that God is sending you as His ambassador. How effective are you in sharing the light? How can your real.life group pray for you so that you can continue to be a light in the darkness?
