Although giving in to persecution & doctrinal errors are primary threats, there are still other threats to the health of a church. You get many indications from early on in Philippians that all is not as it should be in Philippi. 
1:27, 2:1-4, 2:14-15. Our ability to be appear as ‘blameless & harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked & perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world’ is only possible if we are unified. Division destroys a churches witness. Listen as Pastor Matt looks at the Apostle Paul’s plea to two women in conflict in the Church at Philippi and shows how this text teaches four things; 1) There is a place for public rebuke 2) Sometimes unity is even more important than clarity 3) When there is division we should seek qualified help and 4) A Christian who is wrong is still a Christian.
