Disagreements and conflicts in the church are burdensome, but they are not to unique to your church. The same sorts of conflict was present in Ephesus, Colossae, Philippi, & Corinth. Paul even says that divisions are necessary & even helpful.1 Cor. 11:18 When you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; & in part I believe it. 19 For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.
The key is that WHEN there is a disagreement over faith or practice that the members are working through those disagreements toward unity. But how can you tell when someone is using such disagreements to create division through gossip? Listen as Pastor Matt examines Proverbs 20:29 to show us how to identify and deal with gossip so the church can remain unified.
