Discussion Questions

1. Read Philippians 2:1-5 

2. What are your thoughts on the different Christian traditions and/or denominations? Do you have any experience in them?

3. Can you share any big differences you know between Central and other churches in our area?

4. Paul taught that unity is important, and Jesus prayed that his followers would be unified. How and why does this become an issue in so many church traditions? How does this become an issue in individual churches?

5. In what ways has Central struggled with unity — both with other churches and within the church?

6. How can humility and focusing on the big “rocks” of our faith bring unity?
