Listen "Ephesians 4:1-6 - "Unity in the Midst of Mess" "
Episode Synopsis
Sermon Discussion Questions
1) There seems to be a misconception for many believers that the presence of conflict means the absence of unity. Why do you think this is? How does the truth of the gospel contradict this misconception?
2) Paul urges us in Ephesians 4:1-2 that we should "walk worthy" of our calling, "with "humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love". Are there any people (especially fellow believers) you know of that you need to bear with? How can you put into practice humility, gentleness, and patience with them?
3) The unity that Paul says we should be "eager to maintain" (verse 3) is derived from the oneness already on display by the Triune God. As Paul states in verses 4-6, there is "one body and one Spirit...one Lord...one God and Father of all". In what ways can the oneness of the Trinity help us in our efforts to maintain unity with each other?
