Philippians 2:1-11NIV

A new season of ministry is a reminder that God’s work is always bigger than any one person. As we welcome and commission our new Senior Pastor, Pastor Ryan Wright, we celebrate God’s faithfulness in bringing us to this moment and look ahead with expectation for all He has in store. Brian Scott, District Superintendent, spoke.

1. Biblically, what does a good leader do? Read Philippians 2: 1- 11; Mark 9:34-35; 1 Timothy 3: 1- 7; Titus 1:7-9. 

       a. Since Pastor Ryan has already been serving at our church, how have you seen him emulate any of these qualities?

2. What does it mean for the church to be unified? Read Ephesians 4:2-6 & Philippians 4: 2-3.

3. Where does unity come from? Read 2 Chronicles 30:10-12; John 17:20-23; Eph 4:11-13; Philippians 2:1 -2 .

4. Division in the church is caused by competition. Should there be competition in the church? Read 1 Corinthians 12:15 .

5. Brian Scott asked us as a church body to commit to support Pastor Ryan in several ways.

       a. How can we pray for him?

       b. How can we receive his teaching and put it into practice?

       c. How can we practice love and unity?

       d. How do we offer honest and gracious communication?

       e. How do we do our part to reach our community & nation?
