Unity through Humility
-
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Reflection Questions:
How are you pursuing unity with other believers, family, or workplace?
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. What’s one tangible action you can take to value another’s interests over your own?
Small Group Questions:
Discuss how you can create a culture of unity among your group, especially when there are differing opinions or preferences.
How can your small group encourage one another to combat selfishness and cultivate a mindset of humility and service modeled after Christ?
