Group Discussion
- Share a time when you experienced the church working across lines (ethnic, economic, political, or doctrinal) to accomplish a mission together.
- What are some skills (even spiritual gifts) that others have identified in you?
- Share with the group a natural skill you have. Brainstorm together how this could be used to advance the mission (and hence unity) of the church.
- Using the action step above, share one or two of your spiritual gifts.
- Why is unity in the church such a powerful apologetic for people outside the church.
