Christ Community Olathe
Joy in Disagreement- 8, 9:30 & 11:00am & ON-DEMAND
CONVERSATION 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)
