和睦的善與美 The Goodness and Beauty of Unity
在這個動盪不安的世界中，要實現和睦相處似乎近乎不可能。家庭、機構甚至教會，往往都不免面臨分立與內耗。本主日，張國強牧師將分享我們如何能在神的幫助下，在基督的肢體裡實現和睦相處。讓我們一同探討為什麼我們必須和睦共處，以及如何親自體驗它所帶來的美善與喜樂。
In our troubled world, harmony can feel nearly impossible. Families, organizations, and even churches struggle with division and infighting. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shares how, with God’s help, we can live in harmony within the body of Christ. Let us learn why unity matters, and experience the goodness and joy it brings.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- What is one group, team, or community you’ve been/you are a part of where people really worked well together? What made the experience enjoyable?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the psalm. How does the picture of the dew flowing from Mount Hermon to Mount Zion help you understand the way God’s blessings are experienced within a united community?
- Why is unity not simply about avoiding conflict, but also about learning to give and receive blessings from one another?
4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)
- What attitudes, assumptions, or personal preferences might be making it difficult for you to pursue unity with others?
- Is there someone you have been avoiding, withholding forgiveness from, or keeping at a distance? How is God inviting you to examine your heart?
5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)
- How can you become someone who strengthens unity rather than contributing to gossip, division, misunderstanding, or factions?
- How can you become more willing to both give and receive from others as part of living in biblical community? Is there someone God is asking you to intentionally bless in your family, Life Group/church, or workplace/school this week through your words, time, encouragement, or practical help?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise our Almighty God for reconciling us to Himself through Jesus Christ and making it possible for His people to live in harmony with one another. Praise God for the gift of community and for the blessings, refreshment, and encouragement we experience when we live together in unity.
- Repent for the times you have held on to unforgiveness, pride, resentment, or self-protection instead of pursuing reconciliation and harmony. Ask for forgiveness and pray that you may rely on the Holy Spirit to forgive others, humbly ask for forgiveness, take the initiative to restore relationships, and become a person who blesses others.
