3/20/2011 sermon discussion questions

What’s the Point? - Pastor Perry Kallis

Text: Eph. 2:19-22


1. Now that we are on God’s team, what is our purpose or goal? (see Eph. 1:12-14)

2. How would you define Christian unity?

3. What distracts you from your purpose in Christ?

4. In what role in the body of Christ are you serving? How do you feel you fit into the body?

5. What is the difference between being a citizen and being part of a family?

6. Perry mentioned that some ways to become more of a family include: tenacious (or persisting) love, time spent together, being true (or authentic), and serving others in the family. Which of these do you need to grow in most? Which comes the most easily for you?

7. How has your small group helped the church become more of a family?

8. How does God build us into a “Temple”? What is our part in becoming a “Temple”?

9. Can you share a time when you were part of a team, body, or family to accomplish something for God’s glory? How did it feel to be on that team?
Are you part of a team now?

10. As a “stone” in the building of the “temple,” have you ever felt chipped, broken, misshaped, forgotten, or overlooked? How did you overcome that feeling, or have you?

11. How can we help those that feel this way?

12. What can you do this week to bring greater unity to our church family?
