Home Fellowship Group Questions:
1. Disunity usually occurs when Christians only live for themselves in the body of Christ. Why do believers fall into this way of living? How can we change this? (John 15:13 & 35)
2. In Acts 15:22-29, we see the exhortation to be concerned about maintaining unity through 4 practical actions. What are they, and how would these serve to bring unity? (Romans 14:13-15; 1 Corinthians 8:12-13; Romans 14:17-19; Philippians 2:3-5) How might this apply to unity in the church today?
3. In Acts 15:30-35, we see the importance of reading, teaching, & preaching God’s Word. How does this apply to teachers? (Proverbs 25:13; Acts 20:26–27; 1Timothy 4:13) How about disciples? (Isaiah 55:10–11; Ephesians 4:11-13) How does this build unity?
4. In Acts 15:36-41, we see the disagreement between Paul & Barnabas. Who was right? Explain. What was the outcome with regards to ministry? (vv. 39 & 41) How did God work in Mark’s life? (2Timothy 4:11; Colossians 4:10) What are some practical lessons from this?

3.0 Decision To Love Each Other In Grace & Truth (15:19-21)

Home Fellowship Group Questions:
1. Share about an instance when you witnessed division in a church. What was the outcome of the conflict?
2. Is all division bad? Why or why not? (1Cor. 11:18-19; Luke 12:51-53; Jude 3) Why was it good of Paul to debate these men of the circumcision party? (Acts 15:1&5; Gal 2:1-14; 5:6; 6:15)
3. There are people that come into the church today, teaching division over unessentials. Give some examples of what you have seen. How does Scripture teach us to deal with this legalistic mindset? (John 14:6; Romans 8:1-4; Col. 2:16-17)
4. In verses 16-18, how do the apostles bring us back to the heart of the Gospel? See also Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:21; Romans 5:8.
5. How does the decision of the council (Acts 15:19-21) reflect the heart of God to love each other in grace & truth? How might this relate to future disagreements you may face in the church?(Philippians 2:3-5; John 13:35; John 17:20-23)
