Sermon Synopsis

Conflict within the body of Christ is inevitable due to our sinful and prideful nature. Scripture provides clear, step-by-step guidance on how to address conflict and sin among fellow believers. The ultimate goal is to restore the offending member to Christ. When dealing with sin, there should always be repentance from the sinner, followed by loving forgiveness from the person who was wronged, mirroring the example set by Jesus and the early church fathers. Where necessary, church discipline should be implemented to address the matter effectively. This process ensures that issues are handled biblically, with the aim of reconciliation and spiritual growth for all involved.
