Ice Breakers: What’s one opinion you’ve changed your mind on in the last few years? (silly or serious)

1. Where do you feel “a little superior”?
In the sermon, you were asked this directly. Take time to answer honestly. Is it theology, politics, parenting, lifestyle, or something else?
How might that attitude subtly create distance between you and others?
Read Philippians 2:3–4. What would it look like to count others more significant in that specific area this week?

2. What “tribe” are you most tempted to attach your identity to?
It could be a pastor, a theological camp, a political identity, or even a parenting philosophy.
How does that shape the way you view other Christians?
Read 1 Corinthians 3:4–7. How does Paul reframe the role of leaders and influencers?

3. Think about your closest relationships (family, roommates, coworkers).
Where is there tension, avoidance, or low-level frustration right now?
What would it look like to move toward that person instead of away from them?
Read Romans 12:18. What is one concrete step you can take this week to pursue peace?

4. When you disagree with another Christian, how do you typically respond?
Do you withdraw, argue, gossip, or quietly judge?
How can you hold strong convictions without creating division?
Read Ephesians 4:1–3. What does it mean to maintain unity with humility and patience?

5. In your daily environments (home, work, school), what are the “non-gospel” issues that tend to become ultimate issues?
Examples: preferences, politics, style, schedules, personalities.
How can you re-center conversations and relationships around what truly matters?
Read Colossians 3:11–14. How does your shared identity in Christ reshape those situations?

6. Who has had a spiritual influence on you—and how do you talk about them?
Is it in a way that points people to Christ, or subtly elevates the person?
How can you express gratitude for leaders without creating “I follow…” divisions?
Read 1 Corinthians 1:13. Why is the question “Was ___ crucified for you?” so clarifying?

7. Jesus prayed for our unity (John 17). Are you actively praying for unity?
Do you pray for unity in your family? Your church? Other churches in your city?
This week, choose one person or group you’ve struggled with and pray daily for them.
Read John 17:20–23. How does our unity impact our witness to the world?
