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. Think back to a time when you were part of a group that was really unified (sports team, club, family, workplace, etc.). What was that experience like? What made you so unified? On the other hand, think about your experience in a divisive group. What was that like?

2. In this fourth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he transitions from telling them truths about God and his actions, to teaching about what their responses should be to what is happening around them. Spend some time recapping what truths in the previous chapters Paul is telling the Ephesians to live out in daily life.

3. Throughout this passage, Paul is explaining what it looks like to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling” (verse 1). How does he describe what this means practically? What reasons does he give for them to live this way?

4. What would it look like for us to attain this sort of unity of the faith (verse 13)? In our community group, areas of ministry, families, friend groups, and our church as a whole.

PRAYER PROMPT:
Praise God for the work he has done on our behalf to make us into his people. Ask God to make this vision a reality in our church, and to empower us to attain this kind of unity of the faith.
