Sermon Discussion Questions
- Read Paul’s epistle to the church in Philippi (Phil 2:1-4). What is Paul advocating for in his epistle? Why is it important to maintain unity in the church? What is different about a church that is able to keep the koinoinia?
- Churches need strong spiritual leadership. What is the fivefold ministry put in place by God? (Eph 4:11-12) How do these different giftings come together to build up the church?
- ICSG’s vision statement is “we are a family blessed to bless the community and the nations”. As members of ICSG, are you like-minded in this vision? How does being like-minded empower us to be a blessing?
- Paul entreats the church to be like-minded, having the same love and being of one accord and of one mind so that she will be effective and efficient in her calling. (Phil 2:2). What does this mean for us to have a) same love, b) be of one accord and c) of one mind? What are the practical next steps we can take in order to be aligned, and to fulfil the mandate God has given to ICSG?
