Question #1: What does the Core Value We are unifiers not dividers mean to you? Knowing that this is part of the foundation that we build upon as a church, does it change anything that you are currently doing?
Question #2: In 1 Corinthians 1:10, Paul urges the church to live in harmony with one another. What does this look like in your life? Can you honestly say that you model this on a regular basis? If not, what needs to change?
Question #3: Point #1 stated, unifiers focus on what unites, not what divides! How should this be modeled in the church? Is this easy to keep as part of daily lives and how is it maintained?
Question #4: According to Proverbs 6:16-19, one of the things that God detests is when a person sows discord in the family. Why is this an issue and how did it make the top 7 detestable things list? What are ways that we, as a church, can avoid discord in the church family?
Question #5: John 13:35 states, Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are [Jesus’] disciples. What does love truly mean? Is the love that the world describes Biblically accurate love? If not, how does it differ? How can you as a Christian truly demonstrate love to the world?
Question #6: Pastor Chris shared Two things we must understand:
• Unity is an active choice. It will not happen by accident.
• We cannot control how others act, but we can control our response.
What is required of us to make these understanding reality? Are they easily accomplished? If not, why?
Challenge:
- Examine your daily responses over the last week. Did your actions and responses model a life of unity that honors God? If not, make the needed change today.
Discover a true Biblical definition of love and begin to model it to the world.
Create a personal mission to be a unifier in every area of life.
