    Jesus was no fool. He knew that the Church would have its conflicts - so he gave us instructions on how to resolve them. Sdaly we so rarely believe him!

I’d like to look at one verse today 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they ...read more

    Like instruments in an orchestra playing the same piece of music, so should all the members of the church and when the church is out of tune, it can get ugly. Four ways Jesus tells us we can tune up our lives.

    INTRODUCTION I really enjoy listening to a great symphony orchestra performing classical music. One of my favorite composers is Johann Sebastian Bach. His most famous composition was “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” Here’s a little bit of trivia about Bach that you might not ...read more

    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

It is interesting to note that the meaning of the word used by our Lord for "agree" literally means to "symphonize." It is the word from which we get our modern ...read more
