Ephesians 4:3-6
This week, we're going to look at the importance of unity. Individually, each of us is incredibly special in God's sight. We look like our Father; we have unique giftings and callings. But together, united as one body, we can do things that we never would have been able to do alone. This is one reason it is so important that we honor each other and love one another as Jesus loves us.
Main Scripture: Ephesians 4:3-6
EQUIP: Be one!
Have your group read EPHESIANS 4:3-6 and then focus on the observations and teaching points provided.

A few years ago, a famous musician named Bono from the band U2 co-founded a worldwide campaign against poverty called the One Campaign.

He started a movement that has ended starvation, disease, and death from taking the lives of innocent children and young adults in several places. The movement has a vision to see extreme poverty ended altogether. If one person could start a movement that led to thousands of lives being saved, imagine what the body of believers could do if we truly became one?

This is true of every single person in the Body of Christ, even if they don't act like we do and even if they don't believe exactly what we believe. We still need to be ''one body.''
