http://linktr.ee/cckcCONVERSATION STARTERS
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. These prompts have been designed to help Community Groups grow in their relationship with God, with one another, and with their neighbors. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource to you. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.
1. What stood out to you from the sermon?
2. Paul asks Euodia and Syntyche “to agree in the Lord.” What do you think Paul means by that phrase? What is the difference between agreeing, and agreeing in the Lord?
3. How might joy help people in disagreement? What are some ways to increase your joy even as you experience significant disagreement with others?
4. Churches can be a place of deep division in the midst of disagreement. While disagreement is inevitable (and good!), division is not. How can our church (or your group) create a culture of agreeing in the Lord?
PRAYER PROMPT
Read Ephesians 4:1-6. Spend time praying for those qualities to be present in one another, your group, and Christ Community, and that we would embody the teaching of Jesus. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:35)

Verse 1
I sought the Lord and He answered me
And delivered me from every fear
Those who look on Him are radiant
They'll never be ashamed
They'll never be ashamed
Verse 2
This poor man cried and the Lord heard me
And saved me from my enemies
The Son of God surrounds His saints
He will deliver them
He will deliver them
Chorus 1
Magnify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name together
Glorify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name forever
Verse 3
O taste and see that the Lord is good
O blessed is he who hides in Him
O fear the Lord O all you saints
He'll give you everything
He'll give you everything
(Bridge)
Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never ending praise
May our incense rise

By Our Love
Verse 1
Brothers let us come together
Walking in the spirit, there's much to be done
We will come reaching out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love
Verse 2
Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us
We will come reaching with a song of healing
And they will know us by our love
Chorus
The time is now, come church arise
Love with His hands, see with His eyes
Bind it around you, let it never leave you
And they will know us by our love
Verse 3
Children, you are hope for justice
Stand firm in the truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching long after we're gone
And they will know you by your love

Title: Joy in Disagreement
Scripture: Philippians 4:2-3
Speaker: Andrew Jones, AndrewJ@christcommunitykc.org
Scripture: Philippians 4:2-3
Speaker: Andrew Jones, AndrewJ@christcommunitykc.org
"How will they convince the world of Jesus’ love when they can’t stand one another?" - religionnews.com
>> We need to disagree better than the world does.
>> Our gospel brings people together who will disagree.
>> Don’t be surprised by conflict.
>> Our gospel equips people to disagree.
>> Get fanatical about the gospel.
“Think of fanatical people. They’re overbearing, insensitive, and harsh. Why? It’s not because they are too Christian but because they are not Christian enough. They are fanatically zealous, but they are not fanatically humble, sensitive, empathetic, or forgiving—as Christ was.” -Tim Keller
>> Our gospel is big enough to disagree.
>> Forever is a long time to be mad. So figure it out today.
