HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Our Unity

The following questions can be used as a weekly recap in a small group setting or as a personal study aid for the sermon preached by Senior Pastor, Tommy Dove, at the Grace Place on Sunday, April 23, 2017.  Past sermons are available offline at www.nashvillechurch.com.  Click on “Media” to view the video.  For more information on participating in a Life Group study, contact Pastor Jon Green.

Weekly Warm-up:
Each person must choose one body part to be and defend their choice.
Have you ever had a body part out of commission?
How did the rest of the body feel about it?

Weekly Overview:
No man (or woman) is an island regardless of how independent we might want to be.  We need each other.  We were designed to work, live and play in groups.  We are born into families.  We learn from an early age in our families how to interact with others to accomplish goals beneficial to the group.  God put us in churches for the same reason.  We are to love one another, work together and take care of each other not so we gain some individual prize but so that the whole church is accomplishing its task of being the bride of Christ.

Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Which part of your physical body do you love the most?
Why do you think Paul used the example of the body for the church?
How do we learn unity from the example of the body?
Who does God love most in the church body?
Which generation do you represent?
How many people from different generations do you interact with at church on a regular basis?
How can you be intentional about getting to know people from other generations?
What would the church be like if everyone was like you?

What do we gain from working together?

Group Prayer:
Pray for church unity.
Pray for Pastor Tommy sabbatical.
Pray for Pastor Patton.
