Unity in the Spirit of God
Pastor Denis Federau
1. In Ephesians 4:1–3, Paul identifies humility, gentleness,
patience, and bearing with one another in love as
essential to unity. Which of these qualities is most
difficult to practise in our culture today, and why?
2. Paul tells believers to “maintain the unity of the Spirit.”
What does this suggest about the source of Christian
unity? How is genuine unity different from uniformity or
simply avoiding disagreement?
3. Ephesians 4:4–6 repeatedly emphasizes the word “one.”
How should our shared identity—one body, one Spirit,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one Father—shape
the way we respond to differences in culture, generation,
personality, or worship preferences?
4. Like a physical body, the church is called to support its
members when one part is hurting or struggling. During
Clearbrook’s current season of transition, what practical
steps can we take to care for one another, protect our
unity, and make room for the Spirit’s leading?
