Christians disagree. It happens in marriages, in families, and yes -- in churches. The question isn't if it will happen. The question is how we handle it when it does.
In Philippians 4:2-3, the Apostle Paul addresses a real conflict between two real women in the church at Philippi -- and in doing so, gives us one of the most practical and gospel-centered frameworks for navigating disagreement found anywhere in Scripture.
In this sermon we look at four observations from the text:
Our unity is rooted in the Lord, not in shared opinions or preferences
Sometimes we need outside help to work through conflict
Disagreement does not equal spiritual immaturity
Disagreement does not mean someone isn't saved
We also look at what it means to "agree in the Lord" -- and why the gospel is the only power capable of holding a church together through genuine conflict.
If you are in the middle of a disagreement with another believer, or if you are part of a church navigating a season of growth and change, this message is for you.
