Questions for Further Reflection  Read Ephesians 2:11-22.  What stands out to you as you read these texts?  Anything about these verses that takes you by surprise? Is there anything in your life that has made you feel like you don't belong?  If you are comfortable in sharing, please share.  Where did that fear come from?  Was it from humans or from God? What are ways that the church has created barriers rather than attracted others to God? Francis Chan in his book “Until Unity” writes the following:   Unity starts with repentance; Unity comes with maturity; Unity survives with love.  How does the church repent, mature and love our way through our differences with others. How do we keep ourselves from putting our faith in others to be our peace?  How has Jesus guided you through seasons of unrest into seasons of peace?

Chapter 2:20-23 1. God inspires flawed leaders, 2.20-23     * Despite mistakes, sins and weakness          1. Grandfather (King Jehoiachin, taken to Babylon in the first exile in 597 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar; 2 Kings 24:10-17) )          2. Exile (name = ‘descendant of Babel'); Not a great name and not a great heritage!         3. 15 years of failure     * But…God: “I will make…take…have chosen     * “The LORD Almighty” will see to it that the glory will be greater     * Paul's example, Phil 3:13-14.          * “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”         1. Forget guilt and pride, sins and victories.              1. Mindfulness helps reduce rumination and regrets about the past…But how?.…“Instead of going over and over past events, regrets and disappointments, we can observe the first thought and watch it come and go out of awareness.  As we operate from what is sometimes called “the observer self”, we can step back from unhelpful rumination which can very quickly draw our mood into a low and depressed state.” Introducing Christian Mindfulness, Richard H H Johnston (Location 257)         2. Press on to win Christ - all of him, as much of him as you can get, both in sufferings and resurrections.             1. “It's rare to meet people who have the Ambition to be hated and mistreated like Christ or the prophets. It's rare to find someone whose Ambition is to suffer and die like the apostles. Location 1799, Until Unity, Francis Chan Points (from the series) for Reflection and Discussion * To what extent are we teaching about God? Jesus, Father, Spirit. “The LORD Almighty” - used a total of 14 times: Hag. 1:2, 5, 7, 9, 14; 2:4, 6–9, 11, 23. * Do we really believe the future will be better than the past, and allow it to be different? What is that different vision where you are? * If you are a ‘Zerubbabel' leader of some kind, will you allow God to enthuse you? What guilt or pride of the past do you need to process, and what will help you to maintain a zeal to press on to the goal-marker? * In comparing yourself to Haggai, where are you strong and where are you weak?      * Pointing the people of God to God     * Sustaining the people of God in their work for God     * Deepening the convictions of the people of God     * Inspiring flawed leaders of the people of God Haggai spoke for 15 weeks and left a legacy that lasts to this day. Let us speak of God with conviction, love and honesty so that the glory will be greater. What would you like teaching on in 2023? Please add your comments on this week's topic.

How do we make sure we teach in such a way as to build unity not weaken it? “Thank you” to Tina Poole for your post in the AIM UK & Ireland forum as well as the comments from Geordan, Mike, Charlie, Madalena and Andy B. You have inspired me to make this recording. https://www.aimukandireland.com/ First let us have a look at one of the classic unity passages, then I will offer a few tips. “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, Teaching, as well as unity, is Christ initiative, not ours. Therefore, we keep Christ at the centre and visible. to equip his people for works of service, For a positive purpose. In other words we're not trying to prove other people wrong so much as help people to be able to do right so that the body of Christ may be built up While this all applies to the church universal, perhaps Paul had in mind the local Ephesian body. Most of the time when we teach it is to help the local body, those present, with only half an eye at most on anyone beyond the local group. If we build up the body in Christ we will build unity until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and Remember it is God's unity (by the Spirit), not ours. Understand what unity is. In other words, not trying to make everybody think the same way about issues that are not core doctrines. become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Maturity is the goal, not conformity. Maturity involves helping people to make their own decisions based on what they trust to be the meaning of Scripture as (hopefully) helpfully explained by you. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. Good teaching inspires congregational members to speak Scripture truth to one another. Good teaching, over time, creates a more Christlike body. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” (Ephesians 4:11–16 NIV11) A sign of healthy teaching, over time, is that Congregational members participate in the work of the kingdom with their own motivation, not needing to be chased, or pressed into a mould designed for them by leaders. Tips 1. Run new ideas past a few trusted advisors 2. Ask yourself – in what way will Christ he honoured by what and how I teach today, on this topic, from this passage? 3. Make it your aim to build up, not tear down. Build faith and hope. Will people leave you with greater hope in their hearts? 4. Always aim to accentuate the positive, rather than belabour a negative. 5. Teach to please God, not yourself, not the congregation. 6. Participatory learning may engender unity more than didactic teaching on its own. 7. Don't make methodology a dividing point: “many times huge divisions come between people who can sign the same doctrinal statement but can't agree on the same methodology.” Francis Chan, Until Unity (p199).That will do for today. Much to be said on this topic, but I wonder what you think? What approaches to teaching engender unity, and which ones prevent it? What have you seen done that you might hope I and others would imitate? Please add your comments on this week's topic. We learn best when we learn in community.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (05/10/21), we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Francis Chan, author of Until Unity. Hank and Francis discuss if Christian unity is possible, taking the Lord's High Priestly Prayer seriously, praying for Pentecost today, if Christ is divided, and essentials that Christians from different traditions can unite around.

Church Unity is Not Optional. Many Christians who want unity don't value theology or holiness. Yet, God commands all three. There must be a way to end the divisions that grieve the Holy Spirit without sacrificing truth or embracing sin. As the world grows more divided, Christians must unite—in love for the Lord and one another—as a winsome witness to the world through our oneness in Christ. Francis Chan joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss his new book Until Unity and why Christian unity is not optional. We hope that this conversation will inspire Spirit-filled people from all denominations to fight for unity with humility, gentleness and love in obedience to our Lord's High Priestly Prayer. “…that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” To receive your copy of Until Unity by Francis Chan for your partnering gift please click here. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-cri2105hup/Topics discussed include: Is Christian unity possible?
