Separate Ways

In this episode Pastor Rory preached on Acts 15:36-41. this passage outlines a disagreement between Paul, Barnabas and Mark. The Bible is clear that even in the church, even with the Holy Spirit Christians don't always get along.

Rather than turning on one another and attacking one another's character, it's okay to part ways.

Through their conflict, two mission trips were accomplished, and the gospel message spread farther.

They agreed on their calling and purpose but disagreed on how to accomplish it at that time.

Since they did not turn their disagreement into a vicious personal attack, we see that in the end, all the men involved were reconciled and continued to work together.
