  • Men are called to be spiritual leaders in their homes, praying for and with their wives and children.
  • Unity in the body of Christ doesn’t mean conformity, but embracing diversity while being united in purpose.
  • Vulnerability and open communication are essential for spiritual growth in marriages and the church.
  • We should strive to “stir one another up to love and good works.”

Discussion

  1. Read John 17:20-26. How does Jesus’ prayer for unity challenge your current understanding of Christian fellowship?
  2. Pastor Bob mentioned that fellowship involves “sharing burdens, praying for one another, and reading the Word together.” How are you currently experiencing this kind of fellowship? Where do you see room for growth?
  3. For the married couples: How have you seen spiritual leadership (or lack thereof) impact your relationship? What steps can you take to grow in this area?
  4. For singles: How can you actively participate in and contribute to the unity of the body of Christ?
  5. The sermon emphasized the importance of vulnerability in fellowship. What makes being vulnerable difficult for you? How might an increased vulnerability deepen your relationships?
