Discussion Questions:

1 – Why is there so much division between people today?

2 – What is the climate generally like between Christians and non-Christians?

3 – Read 1 Peter 2:12. What does it look like for Christians to do this? How successful do you think we are being?

4 – Read John 17:20-23. Why is there often too much division within the universal Church?

5 – Pray for unity among our church and the whole of the Body of Christ. Pray that this will lead to a productive witness to an unbelieving world.
