Conversation Starters

1. Read Romans 15:1-13.

2. What does it look like for us to become a church body that “bears the weaknesses of those without strength”? What role can you play in doing this?

3. How has “Christ welcomed us” (vs 7)? What would it look like to welcome one another in a similar way? Think about the hardest person in our church for you to ‘welcome’. What would it look like to welcome them like Christ welcomes you?

4. Considering this passage in light of our passage from last week (14:1-23), what do you think it means to be a church that glorifies God with “one mind and one voice”?

– A community of hope uses their strength to bear weakness

Where do you need to use your strength to serve? Where do you need to give up your rights so that you can better care for your neighbor?

– They endure through the encouragement from scripture

Where do you need to endure?

– Communities of hope pursue harmony amidst diversity

Is there somebody who's playing a different tune that you need to learn to sing harmony with? Do you need to let them sing the melody and you play a different part?
