Do you see the differences and diversity in your congregation or organisation as problems or good?
Some people dislike differences simply because it is harder to manage and harder to relate to. However read 1 Corinthians 12:12-27....
God's perspective on differences is that they are actually a strength. Different ideas, talents, skills and opinions actually help us to grow and develop. Differences are needed for our organisation or congregation to be healthy, Godly and more complete.
Somethings to reflect on and discuss
What are the differences in your congregation or organisation?
How are the differences that exist in your congregation or organisation be of benefit?
Many people find it difficult to be part of an organisation or congregation where there are too many differences, however read Colossians 1:15-18, Ephesians 1:22-23, James 4:7 and Ephesians 5:21.
Somethings to reflect on and discuss
What do these passages suggest make it possible for a diverse congregation to survive?
What does this mean for your congregation or organisation?
Spend time praying about the difference in your congregation/organisation and how they can benefit the rest of the congregation/organisation.
