(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) God designed the church to be a foretaste of the new creation, but sadly, the church can often look more like the old creation as Christians surrender to the desires of the flesh. These problems in the church are not unique, new, or specific to a handful of churches. Rather, conflict has riddled the church from its earliest days.
The first churchwide conflict in the New Testament occurred in Acts 6. This dissension happened during an exciting time of massive growth, not during a time of difficulty or a season of stagnant ministry. With this increase, however, came a proliferation of conflict and strife….
The conflict was not over something doctrinal, but personal in nature: certain people in the church were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. The fledgling church in Jerusalem came to a crisis point over this issue as they worked out how to deal with this problem. After much prayer, the Spirit-inspired resolution led to the continued spread of the gospel and an even greater increase in disciples.
