Scripture: Acts 15:1-11, 22-33

Dealing with disagreement is part of living in any community that really matters. We’re usually polite with strangers, but the deepest conflicts can be with our families because, when we live life closely together, there are bound to be different points of view….The early church wasn’t an ideal community; they faced the same struggles we all do. But in Acts 15 we see a community filled with grace, even in the midst of conflict.
