“Handling Disputes in the Church”

We all experience conflict in this life. Sometimes those conflicts end up in court as lawsuits. In the Corinthian church, one member was suing another member for fraud, and no one was doing anything about it. Sadly, conflict – even to the point of lawsuits – affects Christians today. Shouldn’t we be able to solve these problems? Shouldn’t our faith help us live in peace? Our Bible passage addresses that today, reminding us that our decision-making should be guided by hope in the kingdom of God, not this world. Faith in Christ leads us to solving problems differently.
