96. Pentecost and the Unity of the Church

This week, Sarah reflects on Ephesians 4:3–5, a waiata called Me whai kia mau, and a beautiful guitar metaphor that points to Christ as the one we are tuned to. As we head toward Pentecost, this episode explores what it means to protect the unity of the Spirit, live in peace with one another, and remember that the Church is one body held together by one Spirit. If you’ve ever wondered what unity actually lookslike in everyday life, this episode is a gentle invitation to stay close to Jesus and let Him shape the way you live and love.

Link to Me whai kia mau song Me Whai Kia Mau (Live Worship at Congress 2019)Reflection Questions:

1. Where in my life or relationships is God inviting me to make every effort to protect unity?

2. Am I staying closely tuned to Jesus, or have other voices and distractions started shaping my heart more than He is?

3. How do I respond when someone in the church is different from me in personality, preference, or perspective?

4. Is there a relationship where I need to choose peace, forgiveness, or humility this week?

5. What gifts or ‘notes’ has God placed in me, and how might they contribute to the harmony of the wider body of Christ?

6. As we reflect on Pentecost, where might the Holy Spirit be inviting me to step out with greater boldness, unity, or openness to others?
