SERMON NOTES
Felowshipping Together
Pastor Josh Beakley
Ephesians 4:1-3
HONOR CHRIST’S LOVE (4:1)
EMBODY CHRIST’S LOVE (4:2)
UPHOLD CHRIST’S LOVE (4:3)
Reflection:
- When was the last time you truly pondered the wonder of Christ’s love to you personally?
- Where is Christian ‘togetherness’ most endangered in your relationships in the church?
Discussion:
- What distracts us from beholding the wonder of Christ’s love to us?
- What makes ‘bearing with’ each other so difficult?
- Why makes unity worth fighting for?
