Bible

Read Ephesians 2:11-22

“Our greatest confirmation of the gospel is the community of the local church. Therefore, our best strategy for reaching the world is to fan that community into a raging inferno of supernatural witness that will be far more attractive than any adjustment to our music, small groups, or sermons could ever be.”

  • What was your understanding of sharing the peace before this Sunday? How has looking at this passage changed the way you view sharing the peace?

Pushed apart by division:

  • Looking at verses 11-13, how can remembering our former separation from Christ change how we participate in the "sharing of peace" during our Sunday services?

  • How should this affect our interactions with all people?

Pulled together by Christ:

  • Based on verses 13-18, how can the act of sharing peace become a tangible expression of reconciliation within the church, and how does this challenge you to address "dividing walls" in your daily life?

  • How should sharing the peace remind you of the gospel? 

Purposed in the power of the Spirit:

  • Reflecting on verses 19-22, how does the concept of the church as a united "household" impact your understanding of sharing peace?

  • How should sharing the peace impact your daily discipleship and interactions with others?
