Points:

• Loving God and loving others go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other
  • The church is built on relationship
• Even though we have the same mission, we are not all the same
  • Different personalities, opinions, views (see Paul and Barnabas disagreement)
  • We may agree on what needs to be done but not how or with who
  • Disagreements can cause separation, but a house that is divided cannot stand
• If we are submit ourselves to God, we also must submit to each other.
  • We must be willing to carry our brethren along on the ministry journey
  • We must prepare those who are coming along
• To submit to God, we must first acknowledge the error of our ways, repent and make things right.
  • We have to reach a place where we can sit down and discuss disagreements like adults
• Let us get rid of the grudges and animosity that we are carrying, it is slowing the kingdom work down!
