Coffee Questions

 

To what extent is our behaviour controlled by a fear of getting a hard time for our faith? What difference would it make if we understood that suffering for Christ is a gift of God’s grace (1:29)?

 

When are we inclined to let rivalry or pride get in the way of our relationships with Christians? How does this passage underline the importance of pursuing Christian unity?
