• What wisdom do the NT authors give these first-century Christians about how to pursue unity? Why do you believe they place such great emphasis on the need for Christians to pursue unity?
• Why do you think Christians today struggle to overcome the issues that divide us?
• What are some pieces of wisdom you could give someone that would help them take a step towards unity in a conversation about race when they disagree?
• What does it look like for you to pursue unity in your family and church community?
• How does the theme of unity in The Epistles point us to the gospel?
