*** This guide may have more questions than your group could reasonably discuss in one meeting. Feel free to pick and choose questions that best encourage, challenge, and instruct your particular participants.

 

Read Acts 4:32 – 5:11

1. Rob spoke of the importance of maintaining unity in the church.  What are some practical ways we can promote unity without violating the clear teaching of scripture? Give some references (think about forgiveness, showing grace, love, the “one anothers” found throughout the New Testament.

2. What are some of the things that we hold back from God? What things do we tend to treasure more than God? Do you ever spend time in self-examination to see what may be the idols of your heart?  How do you deal with that?

3. Think about some of the other times God intervened dramatically in the lives of others in the Bible (Nadab and Abihu, Achan, Nebuchadnezzar). What were their sins? Why were they an affront to God and what do they teach us?

4. Is there someone in the body of Christ that you are at odds with? How can you take the initiative to heal that wound and restore unity?

5. One reason for disunity in a church is that we tend to stay in our own little cliques.  Do you take time to get to know those who are different than you, those not in your “group”?  What ways can we be better at being “one body” for the glory of God?

6. In what ways are we tempted to present a “curated” version of our spiritual life? Are there areas where your outward life does not match your inward reality? Why is honesty before God the pathway to grace rather than judgment?

7. How would you describe your current pattern of giving—intentional, sacrificial, joyful? What might your financial priorities reveal about your heart? How can generosity become a regular spiritual discipline in your life?

8. What are practical ways you can actively build unity in your church? How do gossip, bitterness, or unresolved conflict quietly damage the body of Christ? What does it look like to “fight for unity” in a gospel-centered way?

9. How can this group create a culture of honesty and transparency rather than performance? What are ways your group can grow in generosity toward one another and others in need? How can you intentionally guard and strengthen unity within your church body?

10. Why is it both comforting and sobering that God is deeply invested in the purity of His church? How does the gospel free us from pretending and invite us into honest, transformed living?
