    Outliing the need to work together even when there are people we do not like are part of the team. Put the armour of light on and bury the clock of darkness.

     | 7,417 views

    The church consists of people, and at some stage in a growing church complaints and differences of opinion will occur. This sermon explores the biblical approach to handling complaints.

    As I read the New Testament one of things that becomes clear is that God knows that although He wants us to be living together in harmony, that we will struggle. So He gives us guidance, such as that found in Colossians 3:13-15 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have ...read more
