This world moves fast, but followers of Jesus are called to make disciples, “baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:18-20). That can’t happen in a hurry. God wants his people to slow down so that he can form their pace and priorities.

MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49282038RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgWhom do you experience the most disagreement with? When we disagree, it's easy to allow disunity in our relationships. Pursuing unity is hard. Romans 12:18 teaches us, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." When followers of Jesus are in a disagreement, they should lead with love for the other person, upholding the relationship, and then clarify their beliefs peaceably. In times like an election year, when things can feel especially dicey, it's important to obey this commandment for peace in disagreements. Where can you practice expressing your beliefs in loving ways this week? 

When did you last show love and compassion to others in anger? In his prayer in John 17, Jesus reveals that unity and togetherness in love will show the world who He is and His love! Throughout the Bible, you can see that God is slow to anger, even when He has all the right to be. As reflections of his work and goodness, you should follow His example and show up with love! How will you do the hard work to be slow to anger and show more compassion to those around you? Message Notes:https://www.bible.com/events/49278591

When was the last time you felt united when you judged someone? Judgment is vital to evaluation culture and only leads to division and separation. Jesus' words in Matthew 7:1 are reason enough not to Judge as he lays out the golden rule: "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged". In the pursuit of unity, you can pursue wisdom, humble yourself, and do good to others to live a life of peace pointing towards Jesus! How will you take steps towards humanity and generosity to find peace?

When do you find yourself feeling offended? The world says you have the right to take offense and get even. However, the Bible teaches not to dwell on offenses, and to act in love instead. Proverbs 17:9 says, “Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.” Followers of Jesus should extend love in place of disunity. What offenses can you drop today?
