Ephesians 4: The unity of the Spirit

Read Ephesians 4:1-32 before you meet.

In a few lines

In Ephesians 4:2 the lowliness is the noun Philippians 2:3 gives as humility, and the humility is the noun Galatians 5:23 gives as gentleness; speaking truth in 4:15 is one Greek verb; and the put away of 4:22 and 4:25 is one verb, while 4:31's is another.

The verse to carry

“And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.”

Ephesians 4:32

To talk about

  1. 1. "with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (4:2-3). What helps a group like yours keep that unity when people see things differently?

  2. 2. "but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ" (4:15). What makes it hard to speak truth and love at the same time, and what helps?

  3. 3. "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." (4:29). Think of words that built you up. What made them good to hear?
