    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 8, 2025

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 15:21-28 Supporting Texts: Hebrews 11:6, Mark 11:24, Luke 18:1–8, James 1:6, Romans 4:20–21 INTRODUCTION: There are seasons in life when everything seems to be working against us.

     | 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.
