Disagreeing Without Dividing
No Offense, Butā€¦
March 23, 2025

Discussion Questions:

  1. Name an example of a disagreement youā€™ve had with another believer. How did you handle the conversation?


  2. Read Romans 14:10-19 aloud. What stands out to you most from this passage? How can we ensure that our personal convictions donā€™t become a stumbling block for others?


  3. How can we distinguish between essential and non-essential beliefs in our faith? Why do you think people sometimes make secondary issues into primary issues?

  4. Read Galatians 5:13-14. What does it mean to ā€œfilter your disagreements through loveā€? Can you think of a time when doing this helped maintain a relationship? What are some ways we can protect relationships when we donā€™t see eye to eye with other believers?


  5. Pastor Sean said we should prioritize the person over our preference when we disagree. Historically, would you say itā€™s more important to you to win an argument or preserve harmony in a relationship? (Be honest!)

  6. The past three weeks, we have looked at handling conflict, gossip, and disagreements through a biblical lens. How can our ability to handle these things well impact our witness to the world as followers of Christ?
