Take It With You!

During this series please consider reading through the book of Ephesians daily with your family or on your own. After each sermon, questions will be provided to guide your reading and prayer time. God's blessings in your study!

1. Read through Ephesians 4:1-6. God calls His church to strive for unity. In light of verse 2, what sorts of things do you think can cause disunity in the church?

2. Ephesians 4:11-13 tells us that Christ has given us certain leaders in the church to prepare us for service. What are some ways you can serve the church? How about those outside of the church?

3. Read Ephesians 4:14. How can false doctrine (i.e. teaching) hinder unity in the church?
