Christian Unity Ephesians 4: 1 -6 A Year With Jesus

GEESSE FACTS 1. By flying in "V " formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. – People who share a common direction can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. They help each other out. WALK WORTHY Commitment Live a Life Consistent with Your Calling

GEESSE FACTS 1. By flying in "V " formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. 2. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. – We should stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go and be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to others. BE DILIGENT

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. 3. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. – It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing responsibilities. With people, as with geese, we are interdependent on each other’s skills and capabilities, and unique arrangements of gifts, talents, resources. HUMILITY / LOWLINESS MEEKNESS / GENTLENESS

When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. 4. Geese “honk” from behind to encourage those up front to keep up going and pressing on. – We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging and not something else. In groups where there is great encouragement against great odds, the production is much greater. PATIENCE / LONGSUFFERING FOREBEARANCE / TOLERANCE

• GEESSE FACTS By flying in "V " formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. • Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. • When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. • These geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. • Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out, two geese fall out of formation and follow him down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out on their own or with another formation until they catch up with their group. – We too should stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
