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?
